<p>Under the Data Protection Act 1998, which is the responsibility of the Secretary
of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, any individual can request the personal
data held on them by a public body. Public bodies are required to carry out a reasonable
and proportionate search for the requested information. Where the information is in
unstructured paper records, then a cost limit applies. Each public body is a separate
data controller, and each request is dealt with on an individual basis.</p><p><strong>
