Yep! And presumably you are still constrained...or have you found a way
round? I note that
http://www.lib.uea.ac.uk/lib/libinf/services/interlend.htmthat offers
online requesting but says "Remember for journal articles you must sign
and return to the Interlending Office the Copyright Declaration form
that will be sent to you on receipt of your request. Requests cannot be
processed without it".

It seems to me that the benchmark for gauging the acceptability of
electronic signatures comes from areas where security is paramount, e.g.
banking, where large sums of money may be involved.
Using these criteria for Interlending seems to me to be taking a
sledgehammer to crack a nut. But then I'm not a lawyer!
