It is possible if one has not sought to take a serious view of this Bill to think that it is pretty manageable and pretty understandable. It is all about stopping those under 18 going into salons. But the more one reads about this area of policy, the more one realises how complicated it is. Therefore a public health officer who has not dealt with this issue before will not be able to meet the requirements of even a short Bill like this. I was wading through the documents and it is worse than doing O-level chemistry; not that I ever did. Oh I did, yes. I think I failed. The 13th report of the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment is very complicated.

I should like some assurances. When one is dealing with enforcement, there will be a power to prosecute. I have mentioned the security industry authority. For a long time the guy who was responsible for enforcement said—I was at a conference where he said this— that he did not believe in prosecution. There are some cases where a tap on the wrist or a fine will not be enough. There will be some cases where something stronger must be done. Enforcement should have a high set of sanctions. Enforcement by local authorities should involve those who have a competence—I am sure they do—and the training.

What thought has been given in the Minister’s Department to the standards that will be need to be attained by the officers who will look around and  enforce? Is there any idea yet of training courses put on by different organisations? Is there any indication that those who are going to have this quite onerous responsibility have had the training before they can go out and enforce what they will be legally empowered to do? It might not look too complicated and it might look as though this is pretty simple, but I suspect that some elements of it will require something more. I am not suggesting a sub-specialism or that every local authority has to have somebody with a masters in this area of policy, but I just want to be certain that consideration is being given to ensure that those who do this job have the qualifications, the experience and the learning to do it.
