UK Postcodes not returning location on geocode.arcgis.com

I am using the Geocode dijit to search UK postcodes but it does not actually return any geometries?

The auto complete is suggesting postcodes and here is the REST response...

{
    "suggestions": [{
        "text": "SN2 2JB GBR",
        "magicKey": "JY5kCD8uGY1aBN49IUNF",
        "isCollection": false
    }, {
        "text": "SN2 2JG GBR",
        "magicKey": "JY5kCDNuGY1aBN49IUNF",
        "isCollection": false
    }, {
        "text": "SN2 2JH GBR",
        "magicKey": "JY5kCDbuGY1aBN49IUNF",
        "isCollection": false
    }, {
        "text": "SN2 2JJ GBR",
        "magicKey": "JY5kCDkuGY1aBN49IUNF",
        "isCollection": false
    }, {
        "text": "SN2 2JL GBR",
        "magicKey": "JY5kCDxuGY1aBN49IUNF",
        "isCollection": false
    }]
}

However, when I click on one there is no postcode features in it.

{
    "spatialReference": {
        "wkid": 102100,
        "latestWkid": 3857
    },
    "locations": [**EMPTY**]
}

Searching for towns and roads all return the corresponding features.

Is there a problem with the dataset?

Not sure who to enquire with?

Turns out it was a difference between the geocode suggest and find apis. A bug/enhancement was raised with ESRI Inc.
