The UK Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has given the green light to DCC in the acquisition of BP's liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) business in Britain.

The acquisition was completed on September 30th but at the time was still in dealings with the OFT over whether the BP business would be held separate from Flogas.
