Post Office response to Horizon IT inquiry moving to statutory footing

Today (19 May 2021) Postal Affairs Minister Paul Scully updated the House of Commons that the Horizon IT inquiry will now have a statutory footing.

Nick Read, Chief Executive of the Post Office, said:

“There can only be closure for victims of the Horizon scandal by establishing a comprehensive picture of what went wrong.

“As I have said previously, Post Office will support and co-operate with any inquiry the Government sees fit to convene, and I welcome the announcement that Sir Wyn Williams’ inquiry will now move to a statutory footing. Post Office will continue to co-operate fully with Sir Wyn and his team.”
