THE Britain suspended competition law today to allow competing fuel suppliers to share information and coordinate their response to petrol shortages.
The British ministers suspended the competition laws to allow fuel suppliers to talk to each other and target gas stations that do not have fuel, wrote today the political editor of the Times newspaper, Steven Swinford, in a message on Twitter.
“While there has always been and still is plenty of fuel at refineries and terminals, we know there have been some supply chain issues,” said Business Minister Kwasi Quarteg after a meeting with industry representatives.
“For this reason, we will establish the Downstream Oil Protocol to ensure that industry can share vital information and work together more efficiently to ensure that disruption is minimized.”
The Guardian writes today that the British army could be called upon to deliver fuel to gas stations across the country as part of an emergency plan, which is expected to be considered by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday.
