According to the UK government, the fuel supply has returned to normal. On average, stocks at gas stations are as full again as they were last in May.
London (AP) – According to the government, the supply of fuel at British gas stations has returned to normal. The BBC reported on Thursday, citing statistics from the British Ministry of Commerce.
According to this, inventories at UK gas stations have risen again to 45 per cent on average, most recently in May. Just a few weeks ago, drivers in Britain were facing considerable difficulties. Many gas stations remained on the mainland. The low was reached on September 25 when the average fuel supply fell to 15 percent.
The background to the problems was an acute shortage of truck drivers in Britain. It is estimated that there is a shortage of around 100,000 truck drivers in the UK. Due to strict immigration rules after Brexit, this can no longer be offset by short-term EU employees. Also, after the initial reports of bottlenecks, there was a sharp increase in demand for fuels.
The British government had asked the army to control the fuel crisis. In addition, a total of 5,000 temporary visas must be issued for truck drivers. However, interest in him was very limited.
