(asked on 11th April 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to review sunbed regulations.
This question was answered on 25th April 2019
The Sunbeds Regulation Act 2010 was implemented to prohibit under-18s from using sunbeds based on the recommendations by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment.
The Department, with expert advisers, is considering whether the current legislation and associated guidance, produced by the Department, the Health and Safety Executive and Public Health England to support the enforcement of the regulations by local authorities and the safe use of sunbeds, are effective for protecting sunbed users.
