The UK government is coming under further pressure to help alleviate the country’s lorry driver shortage.
Lobby groups for the retail and transport industries have jointly written to Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng warning the impact on supply chains is getting worse.
They want a review of plans not to grant temporary work visas to drivers from the EU, and better training.
Logistics UK, which represents freight firms, and the British Retail Consortium (BRC) say that while Brexit and Covid-19 caused lorry drivers to leave the UK, a temporary visa could lure them back.
