The call logs for the period of 8 July 2010 to 11 February 2011 were requested from the
National Business Support Centre. The logs have been examined and show that no
calls were made to the National Business Support Centre by Mr ISHAQ regarding any
problems with the Horizon system. There are also no calls relating to cash
discrepancies or problems with balancing the office accounts for Birkenshaw Post
Office branch. I now produce these call logs as SB/24.

The Branch Trading Statements should be signed and date stamped by the sub
postmaster and retained in a suitable folder for a period of six years. A Post Office
Local Branch Trading Handout is given at training to the sub postmaster and this
information can be found on page 3. I now produce this handout as SB/25.

The information can also be found by accessing the Horizon system and going to the
Horizon on Line (HOL) Help link.

All other documents are retained in the branch for two years with the exception of

From business records Birkenshaw Post Office branch was audited and the cash and
stock accepted by Mr Khayyam ISHAQ as the incumbent sub postmaster in July 2005.
The next audit was in February 2011 when Mr ISHAQ was suspended and a
discrepancy in the accounts was discovered.

The cash and stock was then transferred to an interim sub postmaster in February 2011
and accepted as being correct.

The cash and stock was again transferred to a new interim sub postmaster in
September 2012. During the subsequent transfer of cash and stock after Mr ISHAQ’s

suspension in February 2011 no problems or discrepancies have been reported.
