The Government has accepted my proposal to restrict the use of sunbeds to adults only. Heads of a Bill are being prepared for consideration by Government to regulate the use of sunbeds, including prohibiting their use by those under 16. The proposals will also provide for the compulsory placing of warning notices in sunbed salons and other places where sunbeds are available for use by the public. I hope to be in a position to introduce the legislation later this year.
