it is going to allow visas for about 5000 drivers to come and work in the uk.s something that has caused tensions within government itself, not least because there are figures in government pushing the idea that the whole point post—brexit immigration policy was to sort of not make companies reliant on cheaper foreign labour. there are also some concerns about what president this might set for other industries asking if they can have these rules relaxed to allow more workers to come from abroad and overseas as well. but we are now expecting that the government will be going ahead with this visa scheme and there are also likely to announce a kind of wide a raft of measures to tackle a crisis that things like how they plan to tackle a massive backlog in testing the hgv drivers. also how they might try to attract more people to come and work in the industry through things like better pay and conditions as well. that is going to be a big focus. i don't expect that the government do have any plans to use the military to come in and help with the kind of immediate cr
