Explanatory note

These Regulations prescribe a fee of £10 as the maximum fee which is payable by an individual who makes a request, under section 21 of the Data Protection Act 1984, to be supplied with information concerning any data held about him. When the data user has separate entries in the register for data held for different purposes, a separate request must be made and a separate fee paid by virtue of section 21(3) of the Act.
