Call for Evidence

Submit written evidence for the Post Office and Horizon inquiry

The case raises a series of issues which are relevant to the BEIS Committee’s scrutiny of the Post Office Limited, including the following points:

What damage has Horizon caused to the relationship between PO Ltd and sub-postmasters and will this impact on the PO network?
What role did the National Federation of Sub-postmasters play in the Horizon scandal in terms of representing affected sub-postmasters?
What steps are the Government taking to help sub-postmasters to overturn convictions if they were based on Horizon errors?
Have the costs of the Horizon case adversely affected PO services and are there potentially more costs resulting from further civil and criminal litigation?
How transparent is PO Ltd in its decision making and in its use of public money?
What lessons has PO Ltd learnt and what steps is it taking to avoid similar problems?
What role did BEIS and UKGI (UK Government Investments) play and is it reviewing its oversight of PO Ltd following Horizon?
