"Beleaguered BP will find its reputation further tarnished tomorrow when a British criminal court passes sentence on a company it half owns over safety breaches connected with the worst explosion and fire since the second world war.
The British Pipeline Agency (BPA), controlled 50/50 by BP and Shell, is to be fined for breaking health and safety as well as environmental regulations at its base next to the Buncefield oil storage depot near Hemel Hempstead."
