HC Deb 10 June 1981 vol 6 c137W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what measures are taken to ensure withdrawal of photofit pictures where suspects are eliminated from police inquiries; and whether the copyright of photofit pictures produced by a police force are sold or leased to commercial organisations.

Mr. Mayhew

The measures taken to withdraw photofit pictures are a matter for individual chief officers. The copyright of a photofit picture is normally retained by the police force concerned.
