The head of Britain's press watchdog outlined a tougher privacy code Thursday, including a ban on photographs of people in restaurants and churches, following the death of Princess Diana.

Lord Wakeham, chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, indicated at a news conference that even editors of the raciest tabloids will go along with what he called "the toughest set of industry regulations anywhere in Europe."But others were skeptical about how long the tabloids' new, restrained attitude toward the royal family will last unless violations are punished by huge fines and possibly temporary bans on publication.

The penalty for breaking the proposed privacy code would be the same as it is when the present code is violated: Newspapers would have to publish in full the commission's findings.

The code is expected to be adopted formally within about a month.

Wakeham had demanded a new code by the body, which includes national newspaper editors, after paparazzi photographers were accused of contributing to Diana's death in a high-speed car crash in Paris Aug. 31.
