Clock for internal review

+ The Information Commissioner has issued a "Good Practice Guidance" document:

+ Reviews are meant to be carried out "as quickly as possible", and they

+ accept it may take longer, but recommend informing the requester in such
+ a case as to why. They do not believe it should ever take longer than 40
