with the backlog at pig farms. our political correspondent jonathan blake has more. thousands of extra visas have been offered to hgv drivers from abroad, in an attempt to ease pressure on supply chains in the uk. but only a fraction of them have been issued. so now the government is going further, in a move it hopes will allow thousands of extra deliveries per month. drivers from the eu are normally restricted to making two deliveries within seven days, but those rules will be relaxed to allow unlimited trips within a fortnight. this will bring, i think, some significant additional capacity to deliveries to the hgv fleet, because some of those eu fleets will be able to do more return jobs here in the uk. it s hoped food supply chains will be boosted by the move, with more goods being moved at a time of high demand. but the haulage industry is worried that, while it might take the pressure off in the run up to christmas, uk firms could lose out to cheaper eu rivals.
