I have been told by the ICO there is strict guidelines on the 40 day limits given to comply
with the request staffing issues does not bare any weight
to be outside the 40 day guidelines.
Due to me needing this information due to a court case the ICO will be able to process
my dispute much earlier then they would do due to this reason.
I read the email you sent me and the ICO believe it is very un­professional for an email to
be sent like this when the guidelines for SAR are very clear.

Good morning,
OUR REFERENCE: 2018020000641
REQUEST DEADLINE: 25.03.2018
I am writing in response to your email enquiring about the progress of your
Subject Access Request. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to provide you
with a timescale for completion; this is due to the high volume of requests
currently being received by the MPS, therefore your case is taking longer to
process.
Your request was reviewed when first received and is now waiting to be allocated
to a caseworker for processing.
We are not able to prioritise any application and all requests are being processed
strictly by the date they have been received.
We are not taking telephone calls at the moment with regard to the progress of
any application because the team are currently dedicating their available work­
time to the processing of the requests in order of receipt to manage the workload
effectively without interruption; ensuring that responses are sent to everyone in
the shortest time possible.
If you require information for court or other legal proceedings, family court
proceedings or employment tribunals, please see the attached document for
suitable disclosure methods.
Please note this is not intended to infringe in any way on your right to access
your personal data, as granted by Section 7 of the Data Protection Act.
Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this is causing you.
Regards,
