I don't know the agreed rules when the report was commissioned but my personal experience of independent reports is once commissioned and paid for, if the contract was "publish and be damned" there's no room to withhold publishing. In much the same way you would say there's a no editing clause.
No real skin in this game, ill probably vote labour or libdem depending on who could unseat my Tory MP. I voted labour last time to for the same reasons and have floating voted all my life.

The report was independent and was not in any way in conflict with the ICO report, which made it puzzling why it was delayed. But it was commissioned by the Labour Party, so it was down to the leadership when to publish.
I mean, you're giving them an awful lot of benefit for the doubt here. It could have been published 18 months ago. Should you not be asking why the delay? If not for 'kicking it down the road' purposes?
