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.
