LONDON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Britain is ready to introduce
further measures to help deliver fuel to petrol stations after a
shortage of drivers strained supply chains, Prime Minister Boris
Johnson's spokesperson said.
A shortage of truck drivers in Britain has triggered panic
buying of fuel in some English cities, with queues of cars
snaking back from gas stations, many of which have run dry or
simply closed.
"What we are doing as a responsible government (is) taking
the preparatory steps necessary should any further measures be
needed," the spokesperson said.
