Proceeding contribution from Caroline Flint (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 29 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sunbeds (Regulation) Bill.
Sunbeds (Regulation) Bill
Thinking about the way in which tanning salons are promoted, they are almost pop-up businesses. Anyone can rent a unit and set themselves up. Will my hon. Friend comment on the fact that sunbed use is often presented as a cheap option—I understand that 15p has been charged for a couple of minutes on the machines—and that research found that young people got addicted? As soon as the tan went, they wanted to top it up, so although it is quite inexpensive, they are lured in to do more and more tanning, to the detriment of their future health?
