All party-parliamentary group (APPG) established to represent aesthetics industry in Government

An all party-parliamentary group (APPG) has been set up to represent the aesthetics industry in Government.

The group’s formation was announced at a Westminster Hall debate on May 14. It will be chaired by Carolyn Harris, Deputy Leader of Welsh Labour and Judith Cummins, Shadow Minister for International Trade. It was established to show that MPs recognise the challenges facing the aesthetics sector and will recommend on policy decision to Government going forward.

During the debate, MPs called for a minimum age law of 18 to stop young people having cosmetic procedures, echoing the Department for Health and Social Care’s recent consumer safety campaign.
