“We’re doing absolutely everything we can to mitigate some of these challenges. They are global in nature, so we can’t fix every single problem, but I feel confident there will be good provision of goods for everybody. I’m confident there will be a good amount of Christmas presents available for everyone to buy,” said Sunak on Thursday.

“Today we have collectively agreed to work closely over the coming months – and together we will build a strong and resilient recovery,” he added.

Shoppers and motorists have been urged not to panic-buy as the effects shortage of lorry drivers hit supplies of goods and fuel.
