I have just spoken to the ICO and they have told me to put a case into them, as i have asked
for an update and not been given one.
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 un-professional for an email to be
sent like this when the guidelines for SAR are very clear.

Subject: Subject Access Request Simon Cordell 2018020000641 Good morning,
OUR REFERENCE: 2018020000641 REQUEST DEADLINES: 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.
