Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many meetings have taken place between the Department for Business and Trade and Fujitsu concerning Fujitsu making a financial contribution to the Post Office Horizon compensation scheme.

Department for Business and Trade officials have met with Fujitsu three times since the General Election to discuss Fujitsu’s contribution to the cost of the Horizon scandal.

The Government welcomes the fact that Fujitsu has acknowledged their moral obligation to make a contribution to the cost of redress. Once Sir Wyn Williams has delivered his report following the conclusion of the statutory Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, the Department will consider his findings and take appropriate action.
