With that as the current buffer then do 

   M-x eval-buffer

I get an error saying "Symbol's value as variable is void: <html>". Have I
done something completely wrong or?


Yes, replace progn by save-excursion.  You have modified point under
eval-buffer's feet, it will continue evaluation until point equals
point-max.

Ah! Thanks.
