Agencies demanding money to get on their books

Hi!
I need some advice. I have been in contact with an Actors and Extras Agency in Manchester and they want to meet me. However, they want to take a picture of me, for their books and they are charging me a deposit of £30 for that photo and the rest of the money will come out of my wages when I start working for them.

What do you all think? Is this something that is normal for an agency, bearing in mind that I have just had some really nice headshots taken, therefore don't need anymore photos from this agency.

everyone should contact the MP for employment and try and stop this high book fee, they are getting so greedy and giving our profession a bad name.
