Inquiry: Officials should’ve known Horizon unreliable
Inquiry calls for urgent action on redress schemes

59 postmasters considered ending their lives
13 postmasters may have taken own lives
The Post Office scandal has had a “disastrous” impact on sub-postmasters, a new report finds.
It says they were “victims of wholly unacceptable behaviour” by both the Post Office and Fujitsu, which operated the Horizon software.
The chair of the inquiry, who wrote the report, says it’s “impossible to ascertain” how many people have suffered in total – and criticises the “formidable difficulties” around compensation for victims.
Sir Wyn says he expects the Government (and where appropriate Post Office and Fujitsu) to provide a written response to his recommendations by 10 October 2025.
Government vows ‘prompt’ and ‘full’ response to inquiry’s report.
The report was delivered from the Oval in London.
