Thank you for such an enlightened debate. Despite being called an unprofessional half-wit, that obviously knows nothing. It has been established that NATS (at some units) have a policy that they will not provide RAS in Class G. That there has been an SI that states formations won't be worked and that there are Class D airways where VFR is not permitted at all times (I am surprised, as permitting a Mil FJ to cross a Class D airway, that is not permanent, under VFR is a sure way to have an AIRPROX and thus a strengthened case for permanent Class A). As to Class C, I have had no takers, but that is not altogether surprising as it has not come in yet and most NATS controllers seem woefully ignorant of their own companies policies or special instructions. Content to engage in parochial arguments about what sector does what but not engage in the larger debate; which is, do NATS or the CAA/DAP drive policy on airspace.
