Proceeding contribution from Sian C James (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 29 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sunbeds (Regulation) Bill.
Sunbeds (Regulation) Bill
I agree. Some 1,700 deaths a year are attributed to skin cancer, and it is calculated that 100 of those are directly attributable to sunbed use. In 2004, there were 65,000 new cases of skin cancer in Great Britain, so the problem is not small. Other countries have recognised the seriousness of the issue and legislated. They have done so willingly and collectively, and it is important that we follow suit.
