Matt Rodda Labour MP for Reading Central
The Post Office Horizon scandal had an appalling impact on post masters and their families.
I’m grateful to ITV for the excellent Mr Bates vs The Post Office which has refocused the Government’s attention on this unjust situation.
I hope the post masters are properly compensated and that the Post Office and Fujitsu’s role in the scandal will be fully investigated.
Back in December I called on the Government, the Post Office and Fujitsu, which supplied the software, to do more to learn from what happened, to ensure this will not happen again. You can watch my contribution here.
