PM ‘considering sending in Army’ to drive fuel trucks as pumps run dry
The Government has suspended competition laws to help the industry keep petrol stations topped-up amid panic buying by motorists.
The Prime Minister is said to be considering whether to call in soldiers to deliver fuel to petrol stations as pumps ran dry after days of panic buying.
Emergency measures were triggered on Sunday evening, with Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng choosing to suspend competition laws for the fuel industry to allow suppliers to target filling stations running low.
Multiple reports suggested that Boris Johnson on Monday will mull whether to follow that by taking the drastic step of sending in the Army to drive oil tankers as “frenzied buying” added to fuel supply issues caused by a lack of HGV drivers.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has refused to rule out requesting military assistance after queues for the pumps continued across the country on the weekend.

Germany votes to choose Merkel’s successor
Germans went to the polls on Sunday to decide who will be Angela Merkel’s successor.
The centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) presented a strong challenge to the retiring Chancellor’s conservatives.
Merkel, 67, has been in power since 2005 but plans to step down after the election, making the vote an era-changing event to set the future course of Europe’s largest economy.
A fractured electorate means that after the election, leading parties will sound each other out before embarking on more formal coalition negotiations that could take months, leaving Merkel in a caretaker role.
Armin Laschet, party leader of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany, said the federal election was “very important” and will “decide the direction of Germany in coming years and therefore every vote counts.”
