Thanks to everyone that came up with suggestions, I now know more about Squid and HTTP than I did before. The problem was down to Squid's interaction with our firewall/proxy.
I had in my squid.conf
cache_peer 10.65.9.1 parent 80 7
which needed to be changed to
cache_peer 10.65.9.1 parent 80 7 no-query default
The other change was to add the following setting
never_direct allow all
I'm now a happy Squid user, everything is working properly, including my parent/child hierarchy.
Now all I need to do is find a nice squid log parser for auditing purposes.
