Fuel panic: now ministers say wait until your car's tank is half full before topping up
The Prime Minister denied the Government was trying to 'raise the temperature' in the dispute, saying the Government was delivering a 'very calm, very sensible' message but there was 'absolutely no justification' for a strike.
'I do not want a strike to take place, I hope the talks will be successful. But in government you alwayshave to prepare for any eventuality.
'The British people would expect that. To the British people themselves I would say look, there is no imminent strike. The unions would have to give seven days' notice of anystrike so there is no need to to queue to buy petrol.
'If there is an opportunity to top upyour tank if a strike is potentially on the way, then it is a sensible thing if you are able to do that.'
