See FOI request RFI20152203 of Mr Templeton answered 26 Jan 2016. There were 6,455 WOIRA instructions to the BBC in the calendar year 2015 alone. That's about 18 per day - well beyond the ability of Capita/BBC to investigate individually with TV detectors (just think about the time getting the paperwork put together and then read and signed off by senior BBC management). <br /><br />The interesting thing about WOIRAs is that they can only increase since there is no expiry date on them. The fact that a whole page of the performance pack was dedicated to WOIRAs and their increase over time shows that Capita/BBC are concerned about the effects on their Field Force activities.

Even a double glazing salesman will start with his name and who he works for, a goon won't.
