People trying to enforce their rights under the Freedom of Information Act face severe delays before their complaints to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) are resolved.On average it is more than 19 months before the ICO issues a formal decision notice on a complaint. A quarter of all cases take between two and three years and 5% take over three years. The longest delayed decision to date has taken three years and 10½ months. Cases that will break that record are still in the pipeline.
