DIY stores are removing brands of weedkiller amid growing concern over their safety.
Homebase said that it had cut back its range of products that contain the commonly-used ingredient glyphosate.
The announcement came after a California court found that Roundup was a substantial factor in causing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in one man.
