If you are at a government agency, you might be covered by the government licence for Ordnance Survey data, dunno how you'd find out. You'd want the Boundary-Line product that contains boundaries for England, Scotland, Wales - not Northern Ireland though, we had to construct that from other data back when WriteToThem launched. Plus then some GIS program or similar that can read in those boundaries. mySociety might well be able to provide you with a service to perform the lookups you need, do contact our commercial director Karl Grundy on <[email protected]>. > I have seen in other posts that there are licencing restrictions for > postcode data, of course I am happy to geo-code the data and then use > latitude and longitude to get the match. Those licensing restrictions are pretty much the same for boundary data, no matter how much I personally think there shouldn't be. > How does tfwy determine the match between a postcode and a > constituency? We use our database of boundaries, made using Boundary-Line.
