Hi again,<br>
<br>
I found the response from Surrey Council Council to my FOI. They seem
to take a stricter view than other people have experienced from other
government bodies. If we can get a few examples of this apparent
contradiction in legal interpretation and perhaps OS to officially
state their view, we might get Surrey and Kent moving forward...<br>
