Assume a decline - we had various conversations with ED about justice for sub
postmasters. Could you please send a para of background on them as well so we can
explain to NL why he should decline?

Dear Mr Lamb,
Congratulations on becoming the minister for postal affairs. As such, I was wondering if you are attending
the meeting in Portcullis house on the 27th of February chaired by the Rt Hon James Arbuthnot MP

regarding the 100+ ex postmasters who were accused of defrauding the Post Office and who are fighting
to clear their names due to the Horizon system used by the Post Office which caused the discrepancies.
This includes myself.
Iran the Cromer branch between 2006 and 2008 before I was accused and promptly shut down. This, t
. suspect, was due to the fact that the Post Office wanted the office to be moved. I will not go in to too much
detail as it would take too long, but I personally would appreciate you attending as I was one of your
constituents and did actually vote for you and have always voted Liberal, You may also get an insight into
what we are trying to achieve and all the obstacles that are preventing us from getting a fair hearing.
Thank you for your time
Regards
Jim Withers
