Sir Kier Starmer has called on Boris Johnson today to take "emergency" action to address the shortage of lorry drivers which, he said, was threatening to ruin Christmas.

This followed warnings of shortages across the economy, from retailers to meat producers, unless immigration rules were relaxed to admit seasonal workers from abroad.

In a statement, Sir Keir said that a scheme to issue 5,000 temporary visas to foreign lorry drivers would not be up and running "for weeks", stating the Government needed to take swift action.

Gordon Balmer, executive director of the Petrol Retailers Association (PRA), is urging drivers to "maintain their buying habits" as its members take further deliveries.

But Simon Clarke, treasury chief secretary, claimed there is "more fuel being delivered to petrol stations than is being sold" and AA president Edmund King said "most drivers have managed to find fuel, but might have had to travel to several filling stations or to queue."

Norwich Police and Norfolk councils are calling on members of the public to 'not fuel the issue' and avoid panic buying.

Norfolk Fire and Rescue have also warned of the dangers of stockpiling fuel.

Staff at garages across Norfolk have spoken of their challenges this past week, facing insults, threats and fights.
