M&S bans the sale of disposable BBQ's in all UK stores

British retailer M&S has confirmed it has banned the sale of all disposable BBQs in every store across the UK in a bid to reduce the risk of fires.

The high-street giant has made the decision to pull the summer staple "to help protect open spaces and reduce the risk of fires", following calls to remove them amid rising concerns during the heatwave.

The move, which came into effect earlier this week, comes after the UK experienced record-breaking temperatures which led to an increase in blazes across the country, reports The BBC News.
