Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what information they have about the application by the Post Office in 2019 to recuse Mr Justice Fraser from the High Court case of Bates and Others vs Post Office Ltd.

This is a matter which we expect that the statutory Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry under Sir Wyn Williams will examine. The Government is cooperating fully with the Inquiry’s work and should not pre-judge its findings.
