To ask the Prime Minister how many subject access requests under the terms of the Data Protection Act her office has received; what was her estimate of the number of requests that would be received; what consideration she is giving to the subject access fee charged by her office as a result; and whether she will make a statement.

The total number of subject access requests received by my office is one. No specific estimate on the number of requests expected was made at the time as the amount of information held on computers in my office was small. The subject access fee charged was minimal to cover the cost of the work involved. The fee is set by the Cabinet Office, which has the responsibility for Data Protection Act matters for my office.
