/?q={POSTCODE}
Returns the GSS code for the local EU referendum voting area. If the postcode isn't geographic or is for a place not voting in the referendum then returns a 404.
The space between the outcode and incode is optional: both SE19HL and SE1 9HL are fine. Also the postcode can be upper or lower case.
Invalid postcodes will get a 400 error.
