Yes, and I have just telephoned the number at the bottom to order a copy and you go through several, if you want "a" press 1, if you want "b" press 2 etc. I think that after pressing several 1s and 2s that I got the right extension but am not sure as I didn't reach a real person. Have we got a "virtual" info. commissioner, or is it just Friday?

Smith, Tony on 16 July 2004 at 09:04 circulated regarding part of the ICO's
new DP guidance strategy:-
> Launch of new comic book makes data protection easy for everyone
This should be a really good thing which will benefit many and increase the
general awareness of DP.
> Published in a clear and accessible format
A pity the ICO'S web site is not clear and accessible or fully functioning
with the information on it easily available for everyone in the same manner
6 months on.
