6. TIME PERIOD FOR ANSWERING REQUESTS
Subject access requests must be answered “promptly” and in any event within 40 calendar days of the date on which the UK Border Agency has received the request in writing, the fee, and any further information which has been sought to enable identification of the person making the request and location of the information sought. The 40-day period is a maximum target and we should therefore aim to respond sooner if possible.


They say 40 days is the maximum target.

8. THE RIGHT TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST UKBA
A person who has made a subject access request to the UK Border Agency under Section 7 of the DPA and who is dissatisfied with the response may apply to a court who will consider whether the UK Border Agency has failed to comply with the request in contravention of the subject access provisions. If the court is satisfied that the UK Border Agency has failed to comply, it may order the UK Border Agency to comply with the request.
