Extra fuel arrives in Scotland

Jim Ratcliffe the billionaire boss of Ineos, the company that owns the Grangemouth plant today passed through the picket line at the oil refinery to deal with the ongoing industrial dispute.

Extra fuel supplies have started now arriving in Scotland, to make up for possible shortages caused by the strike.

Seven tankers are due to arrive over the next few days containing nearly 65,000 tonnes of fuel which is aimed at staving off shortages at the petrol pumps.

Hundreds of staff at Scotland's only oil refinery are in their second day of a two-day strike over pensions - but have said this morning that there are no more planned walkouts.

Andy Davies is at the Grangemouth plant.
