Government recognises that the legislation governing photographic consent raises complex issues. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport are discussing this area of legislation with the Ministry of Justice and will write to the Rt Hon member following the outcome of these discussions. A copy of the letter will be placed in the House library.
