LONDON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Britain has no plans yet to get
the army to drive trucks to deliver fuel to petrol stations
after a shortage of drivers strained supply chains, Environment
Secretary George Eustice said on Monday.
"We've no plans at the moment to bring in the army to
actually do driving," Eustice said.
Eustice said Ministry of Defence trainers were being drafted
in to help clear a backlog of heavy goods vehicle (HGV) tests.
He said conditions needed to be improved for long-distance
truck drivers.
