CARDIFF West MP, Kevin Brennan, is backing a Private Members Bill in the House of Commons to ban sunbed use by under 18s in commercial tanning salons.The Bill was launched by Cardiff North MP, Julie Morgan, and Mr Brennan was quick to back the campaign and stated that he hoped it would soon become law.
"The misuse of tanning machines can cause massive health problems for the individual and in extreme circumstances cause skin cancer and possible death," said Kevin.
"Research shows that the younger you are using a sunbed in a tanning salon the greater the risk of skin cancer later in life.
"Clearly this is serious issue and under 18s are at far greater risk than older people.
"It is currently far too easy for young people to use sunbeds and therefore it is vital that this Private Members Bill is passed as it could well help to save lives."
