Conclusion (the committee's words)
We welcome Fujitsu’s acceptance that it bears responsibility for the failures of Horizon and its recognition that it must contribute to the redress bill. A substantial proportion of the total redress costs will need to be paid by Fujitsu. We consider it unsatisfactory that no interim payment has been made or is intended to be made by Fujitsu. This dishonours a company that has made significant profits from taxpayer funded contracts. (Conclusion, Paragraph 63)
