Peter,
I don't see why someone not being able to come in (e.g. travel 300 miles, or
come in during office hours) in itself makes the supply of a copy
impossible.
My point was that inviting Data Subjects to come in and view is not a
blanket alternative to making copies. I accept that it might be appropriate
to make this invitation if the request would otherwise be turned down due to
'disproportionate effort' being required to make copies.
Dave.

Dave,
Q. "I can't see anything in the Act which will allow a Data Controller to
use this as a way of avoiding making time-consuming and expensive copies."
A. Section 8 (2) (a) The supply of such a copy is not possible (e.g. They
can't or won't come in!) or would involve disproportionate effort (e.g.
someone standing at a photocopier for a day?)
