Hi Scott, It was raised with the NPG, as promised, at the time. They assured me they would investigate immediately on the pages indicated as well as make a random sampling of other pages on their site to see if it had happened elsewhere.
I'll re-raise this with them today and get back to you when I know any news. Sincerely, -Liam

This got some attention at the time, and coverage in the en.wp Signpost.

The matter ended when it was indicated that WMF people in the GLAM project would raise it with the NPG as a matter of urgency.
However, I note that the NPG continues to use copyrighted material without attribution and with a false copyright claim.

Thanks. I mean all they need to add is "text taken from Wikipedia" - it shouldn't be too hard.

Scott, the director of rights and reproductions a the NPG kindly wrote directly back to me very quickly and said (quoting with permission): "We did, indeed, investigate immediately. I am expecting changes to be made, shortly."
So, I assume that not only will changes be made to their website soon but we'll be informed what as soon as it does.
Sincerely, -Liam

Thanks Liam,
It is a shame they didn't action this last time they were nudged. But if they follow through now, that's a win.
Scott
Nicely done Liam, thanks.
