§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take steps to ensure that the regulations relating to sunbeds and their use are reviewed; and if he will make a statement. [128334]
§ Yvette CooperI have been asked to reply.
There are no current plans to amend legislation as it applies to sunbeds and their use but the situation is kept under review.
The use of sunbeds is a matter of personal choice. However, people should be aware that their use entails exposure to ultraviolet radiation and that there is strong evidence that this is a cause of skin cancer.
