No change on the Horizon

Thousands of sub-postmasters still plagued by problems with faulty Post Office IT system

- Robert Kellaway

THOUSANDS of Post Office subpostmasters have had anomalies with the Horizon IT system in the past four years, a survey found.

The poll revealed that almost seven in 10 have had an "unexplained discrepancy" since January 2020.

It comes amid the start of the final phase of the inquiry into the Post Office scandal surrounding Horizon, which saw hundreds of subpostmasters prosecuted after Fujitsu's faulty system made it appear as though money had gone missing at their branches.

The Post Office continues to use the software despite widespread criticism over the scandal.
