2009/5/20 Peter Coombe thewub.w...@googlemail.com: Good find, I added my name too. But see the comment left by John Sheridan - http://www.opsi.gov.uk/unlocking-service/CommentView/guid/bc8d9078-135a-4a75-98c9-9c9e0cb92bef#commentstart It looks like some company called Dods owns the copyright on those photos. /Dods/ are publishers of Dods' Parliamentary Compaion, the standard reference work on, well, Parliament. I'm guessing that they take these pictures for their book, and license them back to the parliamentary website (etc). -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

Pretty much all government stuff is PD in the US, here is is all Crown Copyright.

We should have pictures of every MP and Lord, at the very least. We have quite a lot, but we really need complete coverage.
