We will then consider your representations and supporting evidence and
decide if we have complied, notifying you of our decision as soon as
possible, and no later than 40 working days after the date of receipt of
your representations. 

Under Regulation 18, you are then entitled to apply to the Information

Should you wish to contact the Commissioner’s Office then you can contact
the Commissioner via her website at [3]www.ico.gov.uk
