The right of access to manually held local authority housing records is
not affected by Durant in the same way as most other records. These
are accessible regardless of whether they form part of a relevant
filing system (section 1(1)(d) of the DPA). So the part of the Durant
judgment which narrows the definition of relevant filing system has no
effect on subject access to local authority housing records.
