Morrisons suitor hopes petrol station sale will ease takeover deal

The competition watchdog has said it could approve Morrisons' takeover by private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) after it proposed selling some its petrol stations.

CD&R, which also owns petrol station giant Motor Fuel Group (MFG), won a lengthy auction to buy the Bradford-based supermarket group last October.

MFG operates 921 petrol stations around the UK under a number of different brands, while Morrisons runs 339 petrol stations at its supermarkets.
