M&S announce nationwide ban on disposable BBQs - with each UK store pulling stock

Marks and Spencer has revealed it will ban the sale of disposable barbecues across all of its UK stores. The upmarket retailer has pulled the product in a bid to reduce the risk of avoidable fires.

The move comes after record-breaking temperatures were recorded over the course of the summer - in which an all-time high of incidents relating to disposable cookers was reported to fire services across the nation.

The high-street favourite has said it wants to 'help protect open spaces and reduce the risk of fires' by banning the product from stores.
