Recommendation 3

We are deeply concerned that, despite the efforts that the Post Office Ltd. (POL) has made to contact them, so few sub-postmasters have approached POL to begin the process of overturning ‘unsafe’ Horizon convictions. POL has conceded that this might be to do with the trauma caused by the Horizon scandal and the Minister accepted that it might also be related to mistrust of POL and the Government. Those directly affected by the scandal and those representing them have also pointed to a clear lack of trust between themselves and POL. If this scandal is to be addressed, it is crucial that all its victims receive justice.
