I asked the boundary
commission recently for boundary data, though I didn't ask for it in
the English rather than geographic form. their answer was that they
define the boundaries but the OS draw them on behalf of the Boundary
Commission, therefore the OS own the copyright of the drawings. (I've
paraphrased a lengthy email here). They refused to release the data.
they also pointed out that they are responsible for Parliamentary
constituencies, "and plays no part in the setting of county, district,
ward, parish or any other boundary." Councils may indeed have the English written versions - it would be worth asking them I have had more success with the Crown estates who were very helpful, but once again their GIS system is based on licenced OS data and therefore copyright.
