Post Office scandal inquiry to report next autumn © PA An extended, bolstered inquiry into the computer scandal at the Post Office will deliver its conclusions more than a year after originally planned. Business minister Paul Scully confirmed that the inquiry would be extended to be put on a statutory footing. He told former sub-postmasters we will get to the bottom of this appalling affair . The convictions of 47 former Post Office workers have been quashed, with hundreds more expected to follow. They had been wrongly accused of crimes such as theft and fraud, with some even imprisoned, due to flaws in the Horizon IT accounting software they had used.

Post Office boss in postmasters scandal is willing to appear at inquiry

The former chief of the Post Office during the subpostmasters scandal has confirmed she is willing to appear as a witness in the inquiry into the UK s biggest miscarriage of justice. Paula Vennells, who ran the Post Office between 2012 and 2019, said she welcomed the move to give the inquiry statutory powers to compel witnesses to appear or risk jail for non-attendance. She said in a statement: It is beyond doubt there are serious and unanswered questions as to the manner in which subpostmasters were wrongly prosecuted. All those involved in any way have a duty to those subpostmasters and their families, who were innocent victims, to ensure that this can never happen again.

Power to compel witnesses in Post Office subpostmasters inquiry welcomed

A decision to grant new powers to the inquiry into the Post Office Horizon scandal has been welcomed by campaigners and politicians. The UK’s biggest miscarriage of justice saw subpostmasters wrongly convicted of offences such as theft and fraud because of the Post Office’s defective accounting system. The Government confirmed on Wednesday that the inquiry, led by retired High Court judge Sir Wyn Williams, will be converted into a statutory inquiry next month. This will give it the power to compel witnesses to appear or risk jail for non-attendance, and to compel the disclosure of documentary evidence. But the move means the inquiry’s report is not expected until autumn next year, more than a year after originally planned.
