We need to be able to add links around the icon in the footer.

[balibirchlee]

As the custom poweredBy accepts HTML and the IDS website is using this to render a more complicated set up than a simple icon image - it has been agreed that IDS would instead add the links to their existing html. Any other implementation would result in a breaking change, requiring either IDS to simplify their existing footer (i.e. providing only an image) or us to scope an enhancement to the current footer modelled after IDS's current set up.

Whether ourselves or IDS feel that this enhancement should be made is up for discussion, but is beyond the scope of this ticket.

As such, the ticket has been adjusted to focus on providing links for the existing default ONS icons which are responsive to the language selection (i.e. the Welsh language version which renders the Welsh variant of the default icon has a link to the Welsh site, and vice versa for the English language version).
