Dear Mr Canning,
SUBJECT: Subject Access Request
Thank you for your email of 11th May 2009. You made a Subject Access Request (SAR) for information held by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) relating to yourself.
Under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), the MoJ must comply with the request within 40 calendar days of its receipt, or if later, within 40 calendar days of receipt of the necessary information such as proof of identity and the prescribed fee.
The MoJ charges a fee of £10 for this service in line with the provisions of the DPA. The fee can be paid by either cheque or postal order and should be made payable to Her Majesty's Paymaster General or HMPG. Proof of identity can be confirmed by providing a copy of a recent utility bill or a copy of the photograph page of your passport or driving licence.
Due to the size of the Department, it is not possible to conduct a search of each MoJ location. I would be grateful if you could let me know which parts of the Department you wish me to conduct the searches, e.g. such as a specific office of the Tribunals Service or court in Her Majesty's Courts Service.
I hope this letter helps explain the steps you need to take next to help us deal with your request, but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.
Yours sincerely
Hannah Law
Data Access and Compliance Unit
