It's ridiculous the Houses of Parliament lack their own, official photographs of their members. I mean the US Senate and Congress take them. And there's official photographs of most US federal officeholders. I think if OPSI don't address this in that thread we could bring it up with our MPs/Houses of Parliament authorities (although I expect they're pretty busy atm!). _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
