Emergency Action to Protect Children from Sunbeds


Malignant melanoma - the most dangerous form of skin cancer - is now the most common cancer in young people (aged 15-34). There is clear evidence of a link between sunbed use and skin cancer. Yet we know that children and young people often gain easy and unsupervised access to sunbeds.

Julie Morgan MP is championing a new Bill to protect young people from sunbeds. This important issue is due to be discussed in Parliament on Friday 29 January - but if too few MPs turn up the Bill won't pass. Please email your MP today to tell them to go along to vote in favour of these measures and to sign a parliamentary petition supporting the Bill.
