-The ICO's "Good Practice Guide 4"
-    Whilst the current version of the Section 45 Code of Practice makes no
-    reference to consideration of the public interest, our view is that public
-    authorities should aim to respond fully to all requests within 20 working days.
-    In cases where the public interest considerations are exceptionally complex it
-    may be reasonable to take longer but, in our view, in no case should the total
-    time exceed 40 working days.
-    Where any additional time beyond the initial 20 working days is required to
-    consider the public interest, the public authority must still serve a “refusal
-    notice” under section 17 of FOIA within 20 working days of a request even in
-    those cases where it is relying on a qualified exemption and has not yet
-    completed the public interest test. That notice must state the exemption(s)
-    being relied on and, if not apparent, why. The notice must include an
-    estimate of the time by which this decision will be made. If the final decision
-    is to withhold the information requested, a second notice must then be issued
-    providing the reasons for the decision on the public interest. No further notice
-    is required if the final decision is to disclose the information.

-However, I do agree with the argument that if authorities didn't have

-not they can release the information after all.

 There is something in Scottish act about Keeper of Records too that
 can create extension, not sure what that is.
