Conclusion
We heard that former sub-postmasters David and Glenys Eaton suffered greatly as a result of inconsistencies in the process and application of the Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Act 2024. They told us they are 40 concerned that individuals eligible to have their convictions quashed under the 2024 Act may be missed because of incomplete historical records. We share their concern. We do not think Post Office Ltd should be satisfied that the data it provided to the Ministry of Justice was as complete as possible. We have identified evidence of one significant gap and are concerned that there may be many more. (Conclusion, Paragraph 46)
