| TV licensing bosses have earned thousands of pounds in bonuses for gathering evidence used to haul people to court.
Managers of the firm collecting the licence fee on behalf of the BBC were given generous cash incentives for pushing door-to-door officers to fill out as many ‘prosecution statements’ as possible.
The practice meant vulnerable people were made to face magistrates only to see their cases thrown out when new evidence emerged, or when it was shown they had paid for a license.
Bonus scheme documents, leaked to the Daily Mail by a whistleblower, also raise concerns that TV Licensing executives misled MPs last year during an inquiry into the collection of the fee.
