What targets? Where have you heard something about targets?

Every institutions have targets to prove their existence is of benefit to the tax payer.

That doesn't have to be in money raised, that would be rather unlikely in this case.

It could be percentage of problems "fixed" whether that be by sharply worded letter or by court proceedings (the former is far easier and cheaper for the authority), or by the time it takes the authority to investigate a problem.

You don't know that, depending how mad is the person in charge. Take into account that it might be good for a couple of years but the power it gives might be tempting to shut down sites that are against EU agenda.
