Is this a data request?

I'm not sure this is a data request as such. The requestor seems to be asking for clearer guidance on age-related legislation. The text in the request is copied from the first page of a Commons Library note published in November.

Of course this is a data request!

All data has a source but its value is determined by its accessibility which in the case of age related legislation is unreasonably obscure. The previous comment is conditioned by the pro forma abbreviation of the original layout which called for existing examples of definition hence the the inclusion of the Commons Library Note which is limited to children only and is in the reverse format to that requred by a general audience.
