Not wishing to intrude on Scottish business, but I think the question was related to the DPA.

So that would be a "no", then ! Donald Henderson Information Compliance Manager Perth & Kinross Council -----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Broom, Doreen Sent: 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....
