More dragging of feet
Following my post about central government departments which have been slow in their dealings with the Information Commissioner's Office, here is a list of other public authorities with extreme delays in particular cases.
As with the other list, this was sent to me following an FOI request I submitted. The ICO wishes to add that both lists are 'very much information that has been informally gathered for internal briefing purposes and as such shouldn’t be considered as definitive statements on this subject'.

Seven months after making an FOI enquiry to the BBC I’m still waiting for a response. Would you say that was an extreme delay?

Jenny -
Because I don't deal with incoming FOI requests I can't comment on your specific case. If you really haven't had a response after seven months then certainly by BBC standards that is an extreme delay. My colleagues who do deal with incoming requests stress the BBC has a very good record on timeliness compared to many other public authorities.
