Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Fujitsu regarding payment of compensation by the company because of their involvement in the Post Office Horizon scandal.

The Government welcomes the fact that Fujitsu has acknowledged their moral obligation to make a contribution to the cost of redress. At the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry the UK head of Fujitsu stated that he is willing and ready to engage with Government on the size of the contribution. Once the statutory Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry has reviewed all the evidence and the Chair, Sir Wyn Williams, has delivered his report, the Department will consider his findings and take appropriate action.
