Subject: POST OFFICE / HORIZON ENQUIRY J13482

First of all congratulations on your re-election —I appreciate that you are very busy at the moment but I would like you
to press Jo Swinson & Vince Cables successors [whoever they might be] on what steps are being taken to bring justice to
the sub-postmasters involved in this enquiry.

It occurs to me that a lot of PUBLIC MONEY has been spent by Post Office in prosecuting innocent people and

attempting to avoid responsibility in this and also their behaviour in threatening people with theft charges to get them
to plead guilty to “ false accounting “ verges on the borders of criminal action and has the serious fraud office been told
?

You will also be aware of the increasing publicity that the media through newspapers , magazines and television are
giving to this and trust that YOU will feel that you should be at the front of such a push for Justice.

Your constituent —Michael Wilson
