That's true for provision of information, but I thought that for requests to cease processing it was "working" days. Just throwing that in for clarity (not related as such to Doreen's original point) and confirmation - if I have this wrong.

Thus the very worst time to receive a SAR is 10am on Christmas Eve. ________________________________ From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Broom, Doreen Sent: 28 November 2006 12:17 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [data-protection] Xmas Holidays Perish the thought but...for the purposes of DP/FOI, I'm sure I've asked this before. The Council is closed from 24/12 and will not be open again until 3/1/07 - is it only Xmas Day/Boxing Day and New Year's Day and the day after we can treat as public holidays for the purposes of days to respond. Sorry folks in England and Wales (not sure about Ireland) but yes, we get an extra day at New Year!!!!
