I'm just about comfortable with this. I understand that although FJ cannot alter individual branch transactions, they
can inject a transaction into a branch's accounts (though use of this facility is very very rare) so we just need to keep
being careful with any changes to the wording below until we get to the bottom of this.

Hi both

A quick update because Fujitsu comms have come back with revised wording - I think they have made our statement
stronger so that is good, but I suspect because there is (ofcourse) some remote access so that the system can be
maintained etc Second Sight will continue to pursue. Have a good weekend!

Mel

If we are asked about remote access potentially being used to change branch transactions it is simply: "The system is
designed to prevent any access, either remote or direct that would allow individual branch transactions to be
altered."

If pressed further: "The system has been designed to prevent any access, either remote or direct, that would allow
individual branch transactions to be altered. Fujitsu has controlled access to the Horizon system for software updates
and maintenance purposes. This is of course strictly controlled with security processes in place, but could not, in any
event, be used to alter individual branch transactions - there is no facility within the system for this."
