Debenhams has named the first seven stores that will not re-open after the Government's coronavirus measures are relaxed. The high street chain, which is Britain's oldest department store, said it has agreed terms to save around 120 of its 142 branches.

However, seven stores will shut, affecting 422 staff. These branches will be in Truro, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Salisbury, Westfield in west London, Warrington, Leamington Spa and South Shields.

The retailer said talks are at an "advanced" stage on the remainder of its estate and that bosses are confident that deals can be arranged "in the coming days" but a "handful" more shops could be at risk.
