I thought Yes but lets not be too quick to judge here that No is incorrect.
I agree the answer is not in the Act
We know the UK Act does not faithfully reproduce the requirements of the EC
directive and we also know that if the Act has failings then the EC
directive can be applied. Whats to say there is not something about EU
citizen rights only in the legislative hierarchy which drove the directive.
What is needed is clear organised research to answer this. .
What appears clear is that most DPA officers would entertain the request
whether the rights are there or not.
