§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Prime Minister how many subject access requests under the terms of the Data Protection Act her office has received; what was her estimate of this number; whether she is reconsidering the subject access fee charged by her Department as a result; and whether she will make a statement.
§ The Prime MinisterThe Cabinet Office has received 22 subject access requests. Most of these have been from employees of the office who are not charged a fee. For other requests the standard fee of £10 is charged. The office did not expect a large number of requests and is not reconsidering the fee.
