MP who survived skin cancer pushes for sunscreen to be VAT exempt

SNP's Amy Callaghan has cross-party support, and notes 16,000 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed in UK each year

An MP who survived skin cancer as a teenager is canvassing cross-party support for her campaign to remove VAT from sunscreen products.

Amy Callaghan is calling on the UK government to remove the tax from products that have a health benefit - the NHS considers factor 30 or above with a four-star UVA rating to be adequate skin protection.
