The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade (Blair McDougall)
Parliament was notified last year of the Government’s intention to commission an independent review into allegations surrounding the Post Office’s network transformation programme (2010 to 2019).
I can now update Members that the investigation has begun. Adam Tolley KC has been appointed to lead the investigation, supported by an independent legal team. The terms of reference for the investigation have been published online, and Members and their constituents are welcome to write to the investigation team at: NTPInvestigation@businessandtrade.gov.uk.
I will update the House on the investigation’s findings once the final report has been produced.
