Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 11:02 pm on 29 June 2015.
In the past five days I have been alerted to a case in my constituency. Very briefly, the sub-postmistress emailed me to say:
“My post office has been audited today and has been closed due to financial discrepancies as a result, I believe, of the inadequacies of the Horizon system.”
That has left the village without a post office service, and obviously it is also putting an intolerable strain on my constituent. I would be grateful if my hon. Friend and the Minister would consider the impact that that is having.
