6.The Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE), an independent expert advisory committee which advises Government and the devolved authorities on the health effects of natural and man-made radiation, considered the health effects and risks arising from exposure to UV radiation from sunbeds. Their thirteenth report, published in June 2009, confirmed that UV radiation from sunbeds was capable of inducing skin cancer and that young people were particularly vulnerable. One of the recommendations in the report is that the commercial use of sunbeds by persons aged under 18 is prohibited.
