Gas ignition not working - is providing gas lighter OK?

Hello I have a fully functioning gas cooker but the ignition doesn’t work, hence the tennant needs to either use matches or use a lighter (i.e. safety clicker / lighter). The tennant doesn’t wan to do this and says that I should replace the hob. Is providing a clicker OK legally?

yes it is ok i have done that

Thanks Colin for your advice

what usually happens is that they get damaged by a cleaning cloth snagging on the igniton or rusting thru… They never last as long as the rest of the hob/

Thanks Shantala I agree, thats given me some piece of mind

Do the rings work? My understanding is ghat its illegal to have a gas burner with non-functioning burners.

How old is the cooker, if its getting on a bit maybe change it for electric hob far safer.
