5. STANDARD REPLIES
The following template letters may be used by staff as described above. Staff
must tailor their response to the content of the request.
5.1. Template letter for use when a requester asks for their own
personal information under FOIA and the request is handled
under the DPA
I am writing in reply to your letter dated [INSERT DATE] in which you
requested information about yourself under the Freedom of Information Act
2000 (FOIA).
This information can be accessed under the subject access provisions of the
Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). Your request is therefore exempt by virtue
of section 40(1) of the FOIA. This exemption is for information which is
already available under the provisions of the DPA.
If you are dissatisfied with the treatment of your request, you can ask the
Department to conduct an internal review of its decision. This can be done by
submitting your complaint to:
Border and Immigration Agency
Complaints Unit
11th Floor, West Wing
Block 'C'
Whitgift Centre
Wellesley Road
Croydon
CR9 1AT

During the independent review the department’s handling of your information
request will be reassessed by staff who were not involved in providing you
with this response. Should you remain dissatisfied after this internal review,
you will have a right of complaint to the Information Commissioner as
established by section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act.
However this information is available to you under the DPA and therefore we
[HAVE PROCESSED / WILL PROCESS] your subject access requests in line
with the provisions of the DPA. [THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE
REQUESTED IS ENCLOSED / IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE
INFORMATION YOU MUST SUPPLY PROOF OF YOUR IDENTITY AND A
£10 CHEQUE MADE PAYABLE TO “THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER – HOME
OFFICEâ€

I had a concern because they had my applicaiton for 6 months and I wanted to travel so I asked for the passport back which may be considered a withdrawal but it was considered exceptional circumstances.
Is that the info you are after?
