The motion

That this House notes that, every year, over 100,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with skin cancer; further notes that over 2,500 people lose their life as a result; highlights that sun exposure is the main preventable cause of skin cancer; urges the Government to remove the VAT on sun care protection to make it more financially affordable to avoid the health risks associated with over exposure to the sun; and believes that no individual should have to compromise their health over price.
