Re: Crisis
Comments made by Hanna Hofer, head of BP’s retail business, at a Cabinet Office meeting were leaked. On September 16, Ms Hofer told civil servants, hauliers and other industry figures that the company had ‘two-thirds of normal forecourt stock levels’.

Re: Crisis
It is interesting to note that BP Hoyer oil fuel delivery drivers were planning a strike ballot early to mid September.
The planned strike was over pay and conditions and surprisingly if held would have lead to scenes similar to what we are having today.
BP could have engineered the "shortages" in order to deflect any criticism away from them.
Who said or did what we probably never ever get to the bottom of it.
As for a shortage of drivers there are exactly the same amount of HGV drivers in the UK as there was this time 3 months ago.
