** Move towards equilibrium later in week

@SkyNews ** PRA blames the leak of a private submission of BP to "one of the broadcasters" and that's when they knew panic buying would happen.

@SkyNews ** PRA says that high urban density areas are more likely to have a problem.
** There are issues with HGV driver availability
** the PRA says army workers wont have skills to do key task.

@SkyNews ** PRA questions whether drivers on the continent will drop everything to come over for 3 months
** Association says the "big lever" is everyone to "calm down"

** PRA say we've got more vehicles on the road but fewer forecourts so there will always be uncertainty but the situation will ease if there's no panic buying

** "Many of our members have sites dry. Many of the big groups are down to about 50% of sites where there is a problem out there."
