I move amendment No. 1:

In page 5, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:

“Prohibition on permitting the use of sunbeds by certain persons

5. (1) The owner, manager or employee of a sunbed business shall not sell the use of a sunbed on a sunbed premises to a person unless—(a) the owner, manager or employee has assessed the person’s skin type in accordance with the Fitzpatrick skin photo type classification system, or

(b) the person has provided the owner, manager or employee with a certificate from a medical practitioner that certifies that the medical practitioner has assessed the person’s skin type in accordance with the Fitzpatrick skin photo type classification system and states the results of that assessment.

(2) A person whose skin type is assessed as Type I or Type II under subsection (1)(a) or (b) shall not be permitted to use a sunbed on the sunbed premises.

(3) A person who contravenes subsection (1) or (2) commits an offence.".
This arises from Committee Stage, when I gave notice my intention to table both of these amendments, which I understand are grouped.
