U.K. retail sales fell in October as weak consumer confidence caused Britons to curtail spending, the British Retail Consortium said.
Sales at stores open at least 12 months, measured by value, dropped 0.1 percent from a year earlier, the London-based trade group said in an e-mailed report today. Sales rose 1.5 percent the previous month, the strongest in nine months.
