VAT On Suncare Products

EDM number 2449 in 2005-06, proposed by Bob Spink on 27/06/2006.

That this House congratulates the Skin Awareness for Everyone (SAFE) and Superdrug campaign, with the Institute of Cancer Research, to remove VAT from suncare products; recognises that skin cancer cases in the UK have more than doubled in the last 20 years with 60,000 people diagnosed and 1,700 deaths each year from melanoma; further notes that children are particularly at risk with around 80 per cent. of exposure to the sun before the age of 21 years and sunburn in childhood being a major factor in an adult's chances of getting skin cancer; and therefore calls on the Government to take the financially prudent and socially caring approach of reclassifying suncare products as essential health care items before summer 2007.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
