The rules on fuel tanker drivers' hours have been temporarily relaxed to help the transport of supplies to filling stations.

The news came as the Unite union ruled out a strike over Easter by fuel tanker drivers.

The government is no longer urging drivers to top-up their petrol tanks following Unite's announcement.
