A petrol retailers’ trade group has accused ministers of provoking abuse against forecourt workers with their use of “incorrect and inflammatory language”, just hours before a crunch meeting with Rachel Reeves.
The Petrol Retailers Association (PRA), which represents large and small independent petrol retailers across the UK, hit out at ministers’ suggestions that there had been “rip-off” pricing and “profiteering” by fuel providers, saying there is “clearly still a lot of work to do to help politicians and commentators to understand how the fuel market works”.
