United Kingdom
Asked by: John Cooper (Conservative - Dumfries and Galloway) Wednesday 16th July 2025 Question to the Wales Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions she has had with the Welsh Government on strengthening the Union. Answered by Nia Griffith - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities) The Spending Review demonstrated how our two Labour Governments are investing in Wales’ future and strengthening our Union for generations to come. With a record settlement for the Welsh Government, an historic investment of at least £445m into Welsh rail, money to keep coal tips safe and protecting every penny of Wales’ growth funds, we have ended Tory austerity.

Horizon IT System: Convictions
Asked by: John Cooper (Conservative - Dumfries and Galloway) Wednesday 16th July 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate his Department has made of the number of postmasters convicted as a result of failures in the Capture software; and how many of those convictions have been quashed. Answered by Gareth Thomas - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) There is no definitive number or record of the number of convictions related to Capture. The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) has received 31 pre-Horizon applications to date. Incomplete due to the passage of time complicates confirming they are Capture-related. To support the CCRC, we commissioned the Post Office to review its branch files for the period from 1992 to 2000 for potential prosecutions. 448 potential cases have been reviewed with 31 confirmed Capture-related cases. The findings have been sent to the CCRC. If convictions related to Capture are overturned by the courts, we will provide appropriate redress.
For non-convicted postmasters, the Government announced the Capture scheme design on 19 June. We expect to launch in Autumn, starting with an initial 150 claimants before broader rollout. |
