BBC, ITN and Sky urge PM on cameras in court law
Three of the UK's biggest news providers have written to the Prime Minister urging legislation to overturn the ban on cameras in courtrooms to be included in this year's Queen's Speech.
The BBC, ITN and Sky co-signed the letter saying the change was "long-overdue reform".
The Ministry of Justice announced last September it would end the ban, but did not specify a time-scale.
Filming in English and Welsh courts has been banned since 1925.
