AF Blakemore and Booker retailers have complained of empty shelves as wholesalers struggle to deliver goods without enough drivers
The government has shunned urgent calls from wholesalers to extend driver hours following a shortage of goods in convenience stores.
The decision comes after crisis talks were held this week between Chris Tyas, who headed up Defra’s Food Resilience Industry Forum and has lobbied for an extension, the Department for Transport, the Federation of Wholesale Distributors and the Road Haulage Association.
The calls for maximum driver hours to be extended, in a move lasting until June 2021, were made after retailers complained that shelves had been left empty.
