I'm getting valid time from them here:

% ntpdate -qv ntp1.npl.co.uk
21 Apr 15:24:19 ntpdate[34063]: ntpdate 4.2.4p5-a Tue Jan 12 18:52:20 EST 2010 (1)
server 139.143.5.30, stratum 2, offset -0.000363, delay 0.13669
21 Apr 15:24:19 ntpdate[34063]: adjust time server 139.143.5.30 offset -0.000363 sec

% ntpdate -qv ntp2.npl.co.uk
21 Apr 15:24:22 ntpdate[34064]: ntpdate 4.2.4p5-a Tue Jan 12 18:52:20 EST 2010 (1)
server 139.143.5.31, stratum 2, offset -0.001513, delay 0.13443
21 Apr 15:24:22 ntpdate[34064]: adjust time server 139.143.5.31 offset -0.001513 sec

(However, they do seem to be filtering out non-standard NTP packets, so ntpq queries are being dropped.)
