registers.service.gov.uk broken links #151

I noticed several of the source links on the data sources page are to register.service.gov.uk, which seems to no longer be functional. Could you tell me where is this data actually being pulled in from now? I think the local authorities might be coming from the MySociety LA list? Not sure about the Cabinet Office Government organisations one. Thanks!

Yes, annoyingly the registers project came to an end so we can't use them any more. You're right that this is a bit confusing on the data sources page though. I've made some changes so that the about page will show anything that's not been updated in a month as "archived".

In terms of the specific registers, yes we're using the mysociety list for the local authorities. I do have a replacement Gov.uk departments one which uses the gov.uk API and should be broadly compatible with the old one. But I haven't switched this on yet.

Thanks!

See also commit: d4f0e98d92d50d5615922eb7c51e872dcd325963 - might need to manually edit the source records for the ones that were updated
