Non-executive deputy chairman of Wm Morrison has bought his first shares in the supermarket retailer.

Ian Gibson, who will take over as chairman from founder Ken Morrison in March 2008, bought 108,000 shares at 276p each.

The group said last week that the first half moved from good industry growth to a marked slowdown towards the end and added that it was confident of achieving its profit expectations for the year.
