Thank you all for answering, it wasn't as straight forward as I thought it was. :-)

It was used as a treatment for various conditions such as acne, was stopped around the 1960s.

Don't know about a programme but OH had to do this in the fifties, but I don't think it was down to lack of sun.

That remembers a programme on the telly many years ago, possibly 1970s about school children standing in front of a sun ray lamp to get the rays because there was no natural sun, or did I imagine it?
