London Fire Brigade, which has been calling for a ban, said the move was 'good news'.
The supermarket said it wanted "to help protect open spaces and reduce the risk of fires".
The supermarket said: "We'd already stopped selling disposable barbecues near national parks and in London but given the unusually hot and dry conditions, we've taken the precautionary step of removing them from sale across the UK." Last week, its commissioner Andy Roe called for disposable barbecues to be taken off the shelves across Britain., dealing with multiple blazes in the record-breaking temperatures.
"M&S are often seen as a bellwether for UK retailers, and hopefully other retailers will follow their lead."
