I contacted the FCA and received the following reply:
Thanks for your further email about IG and for confirming the full name of the firm as IG Index. I appreciate the time you've taken to send me this information.
Contacting the firm
I've checked the Financial Services Register for IG Index's complaints contact details, and can confirm that these are:
Joe McCaughran
IG Index

Telephone: 0207 573 0153
Email: joe.mccaughran@ig.com
When you contact the firm, you can ask them what deadlines they're referring to and whether they consider themselves responsible for obtaining the shares for you. While we're not able to help you resolve your complaint, it would be helpful as part of our supervision of the firm to understand what they consider their role to be in this situation.
I hope this is helpful and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,

I sent an email to them explaining the issue, and asking them to confirm the apparent deadlines they are referring to and whether they consider themselves responsible for obtaining the shares for me (as my broker). I have asked for this deadline a number of times but no one has been able to give me an answer.
A subsequent email reply followed:
I am writing to formally acknowledge receipt of your complaint.
Your complaint will be handled in accordance with our Internal Complaints Procedure and a written reply should be sent to you within 8 weeks of the date on which we received the complaint. I am able to review previous correspondence regarding the account, however if you have any additional information that you would like me to consider as part of my investigation please reply to this email.
I am sorry that you found it necessary to complain and hope that matters can be resolved satisfactorily.
