The buyers of Morrisons have agreed to sell a number of petrol stations to accelerate a £7billion takeover of the UK’s fourth biggest supermarket.
Clayton, Dubilier and Rice, which also owns forecourt operator Motor Fuel Group (MFG), won over control of the Big Four grocer in October.
However, watchdog the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched an investigation because MFG owns 921 petrol stations while Morrisons has 339.
