Question
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, whether
he has received reports of errors in the Post Office Horizon system which have led to
Postmasters or Postmistresses being falsely accused of fraud; and if he will make a
statement. 291675
Draft Answer
The Department has received no such reports. Any issues relating to the Horizon system
are operational matters for Post Office Ltd. I have therefore asked Alan Cook, Managing
