Note about Versions

Please note that this data is maintained on a regular basis. Each time an Inquiry is added or edited the dataset is assigned a new version number.

For this reason, when you visit the site again, you may be asked to re-confirm the Terms & Conditions. This allows us to keep a current record of the match between users and the version of the dataset.
