Andy Burnham has said he will consider imposing a ban on disposable barbecues amid the risk of further wildfires as extreme heat continues to grip parts of the UK. The Prime Minister will chair an emergency Cobra committee later on Wednesday in response to a prolonged spell of exceptionally hot and dry weather. Speaking to reporters, he said people should not be using single-use grills “at this time” amid a “significant problem” of wildfires in the south, where a blaze hit protected heathland in the New Forest, Hampshire. Speaking with The Telegraph's Poppy Coburn, Talk's Ian Collins says: "Take a mum who's at home with the kids in the summer holiday. It's a long holiday and they go and buy one of those disposable ones, because it's fun for the kids. Are you going to ban that?" #andyburnham #bbqban #iancollins #talk Have you got a story?
