The minister wants to lureback into the sector with the promise of higher pay, with some firms offering £1,000 golden hellos.
EG Group, which owns 400 service stations in Britain, imposed a £30 limit on fuel purchases last night in an attempt to stop panic buying.- with BP forced to ration. As well as the immediate threat to fuel supplies and lack of availability of food, there have also been warnings that Christmas could be hit.
