Ms Callaghan moved a Bill to exempt sun protection products from VAT. She declared her personal interest and highlighted that sunscreen affordability is critical for public health, citing market research indicating that constituents are being priced out of buying essential sun protection due to high costs. She pointed out that less than half a percent of the Treasury's revenue from value added tax comes from sunscreen products (about £40 million). Ms Callaghan urged the Government not to ignore the serious risk of skin cancer and to consider the voices of survivors, especially Members trying to create positive change regarding how the population views skin cancer. She emphasised that unprotected sun exposure causes skin cancer and that preventing it should be uncontroversial. According to Cancer Research UK, getting sunburnt twice a year can triple melanoma risk; 16,000 people are diagnosed with it yearly in the UK and over 2,300 die from it, making it essential to address prevention.
