Who can authorise the use of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (British Broadcasting Corporation) Order 2001

The request was partially successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please can you tell me

How many people within the BBC have the power to authorise the use of The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (British Broadcasting Corporation) Order 2001?
What training do the authorised people undergo?
what legal advice if any is given in each request of the use of the RIPA law to make sure those authorised to use the powers are doing so within the law?

Is there a code of practice that is used for The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (British Broadcasting Corporation) Order 2001? and is it available for viewing by the public?

Yours faithfully,

A BATEMAN
