I think the relevant DP issue would be the 40 days for a subject access request. These are calendar days, so whatever arrangements you make would not affect them either way. Regards Tim Turner Data Protection / FOI Officer Legal and Property Services Wigan Council -----Original Message----- From: Broom, Doreen [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tue 26 September 2006 12:27 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [data-protection] Public Holidays All I have just been speaking to a colleague about public holidays. Not sure public holidays apply to DP - I am sure someone can advise. Anyway, as far as FoI is concerned as you know, we do not count public holidays as a working day. In this Council we forego about 6 public holidays during the year and add them on to our Xmas Holidays. What are your views on this - can I say that the other 6 days are public holidays and not count them as working days as far as an FoI Request is concerned....
