  It says they'll "consult on it", not that the decision has been made. Looks promising though.

  "Consulting" on it, but still better than nothing.

    In a speech today, Gordon Brown had the following to say: "And from April next year ordnance survey will open up information about administrative boundaries, postcode areas and mid-scale mapping." So that seems a bit less tentative to me. We shall see.

      Yes... I would like to think that no politician would dare back track after a strong statement like that, but you never know!

  I thought postcode (PAF) data was owned by Royal Mail, not the OS?

    I'm assuming this is the Postcode to OS Grid number dataset like the leak a few months back.
