Hormuz crisis: Is an 'emergency government' incoming?

Britain could face shortages of chicken, pork and some other supermarket goods this summer if the conflict involving Iran continues, according to a report in The Times.

The paper said secret government analysis has examined a “reasonable worst-case scenario” in which disruption in the Strait of Hormuz leads to shortages of carbon dioxide, a gas seen as critical to parts of the food industry.

According to The Times, senior officials from No 10, the Treasury and the Ministry of Defence were among those involved in contingency planning under an exercise codenamed “Exercise Turnstone”.
