Motion Text

That this House welcomes the Teenage Cancer Trust's Shun Burn campaign which aims to raise awareness of the effectiveness of suncreams in helping to protect against skin cancer, cases of which have doubled in young people over the last 20 years; and calls on the Government to waive VAT on all suncream by reclassifying it as a healthcare item rather than a luxury item.
