OS are in a funny position, in that they are in the public sector, but are expected to be self funding. To the extent that they succeed in the latter, they don't owe a duty to the taxpayer.
But since the vast majority of the UPRN data is actually collected and managed by the relevant councils, the question is do they have the right to restrict access when it is council taxes that pay for the management of that data and not OS! SHOULD we perhaps be asking the various councils for direct access to the raw data under the open data umbrella?
