Thank you for coming back to me. My constituent is unwilling to go through the mediation process as he considers it
to be a waste of time. What I would request is that Second Sight are brought in and are allowed to be freely
questioned about their investigation.
I would also request that you liaise with James Arbuthnot who has a deep understanding of the issue and can lend
more background.
Kind Regards,
Andrew

Dear Mr Bridgen,
Baroness Neville-Rolfe has asked me to convey this personal message to you on her behalf in response to your e-
mail sent earlier today.
“Thank you for your note, and for attending the meeting yesterday. The Post Office have a legal duty to disclose any
information which could undermine a conviction or assist an individual's defence, and they comply with that duty
fully. Furthermore, the Post Office have committed publicly on more than one occasion, including the previous BIS
Select Committee, that they will not destroy any documentation relating to this matter. They have also repeated
that commitment to me today.
I am reflecting further on yesterday’s meeting and I will be in touch to follow up. I would like to reiterate what I said
yesterday about encouraging you both to take up Post Office’s offer to meet you individually to discuss the
individual cases you raised. I have asked Post Office to write you to on this.”
Kind regards
Andrew Smith

Dear Baroness Neville-Rolfe,
Further to our meeting yesterday, I remain very concerned about the Post Office’s reluctance to allow questioning
of Second Sight following their forensic investigation into this matter. I have grave fears that during the summer

recess, the Post Office will request that Second Sight destroy documentation which could potentially expose the
failings that I and many colleagues believe exist with the Horizon systems and the ensuing prosecutions. I would
therefore request that you take whatever steps you can to ensure that the Post Office do not order any action to
Second Sight to destroy documents documents, so should for instance the BIS Select Committee choose to
investigate this matter, they will be able to do so with all the Second Sight investigation papers available.
Kind Regards,
Andrew Bridgen
