Dear James,
Thanks for your email below.
Of course, I would be happy to talk to you about this. I could come to you if you like or
alternatively, you could come to our Head Office and see some of our new kit in our Model
Office as well as talking about this.
What would you prefer? And what's your diary like?
Yours ever
Alice

Dear Alice,
You may remember that when we last met at, I think, Ditchley Park I mentioned the issue
of the Horizon computer system in use in Sub Post Offices throughout the country, and said
Thad a real concern about the way some of the sub-Post Masters in and outside my
constituency had been treated. I have spoken to Orna Ni Chionna as well about this, and
she may mention it to you.
May I please come and see you about it? I know it is the position of the Post Office
(supported by the National Federation of Sub Post Masters, though not by the
Communications Workers Union) that there is nothing wrong with Horizon. I am deeply
sceptical about this, and hope I can persuade you to look afresh at the matter, rather than
accepting that there should be a closing of ranks round the computer.
T look forward to hearing from you.
Yours ever,
James
