This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket fair use categories listed at Wikipedia:Fair use#Images or Wikipedia:Fair use#Audio_clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "House of Lords" :

• To illustrate the subject in question
• Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
• On the English-language Wikipedia ([1]), hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([2]),

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed fair use rationale.

Rationale

Parliamentary Copyright provides that "All Parliamentary copyrights are reserved. The material listed may be reproduced without formal permission for the purposes of non-commercial research, private study and for criticism, review and news reporting provided that the material is appropriately attributed. For any other re-use of the material you are required to apply for a Click-Use Parliamentary License from the Office of Public Sector Information. The use of images and broadcasts of the Proceedings of Parliament fall outside the scope of the Parliamentary License."

therefore, as wikimedia projects are non commercial and have elements of news reporting, use of this photograph is fair.

In addition as cameras are not allowed inside the Palace of Westminster, the image produced for illustration purposes by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, is irreplaceable with free alternatives, making use of this image fair.
