Subject: Re: Media Enquiries
Patrick: we shall expect Post Office to apply some self-restraint in its desire to dismiss as incorrect or inadequately
evidenced any of the findings in our Briefing Report - Part Two. Absent any opportunity for Second Sight to reply (to
Post Office's 'rebuttal' report and to anything said on air in the Panorama programme) we expect time, and the
exposure of both Reports to public scrutiny, to expose any errors that we have made... and also to expose any that Post
Office has made in dismissing our findings. We stand ready to admit to anything that we have got wrong, but we expect
Post Office to do the same.
As you are probably aware, it was our conformance to the prior agreement to minimise - in our Briefing Reports - any
identification of case-level data that reduced the amount of 'evidence' referred to in those Reports. It was
consequently, in my view, most inappropriate that Post Office levelled at Second Sight the criticism that its Briefing
Report - Part Two was as it were light on supportive evidence.
Regards. Ron.

Dear lan, Ron & Chris
You may or may not be aware that the BBC is considering producing a Panorama documentary on Post
Office, Horizon and the Scheme.
I know that you are already well aware of your Terms of Engagement but I nonetheless take this
opportunity to remind you of the restrictions which apply to all contact with the media under clause 8 of
those Terms in particular, and of the need to respect confidentiality more generally. I should stress that
any breach will be strictly enforced by Post Office.
Kind regards
Yours sincerely
Patrick
