Time is running out to provide input into a survey aiming to shed light on the Post Office’s Horizon IT scandal.
Up to 16,000 people from across the UK - including all current sub-postmasters and Horizon Shortfall scheme applicants - have been asked to complete a survey about their experience of the Post Office and Horizon, or of claiming compensation.
Operators now have less than a week to take part and provide crucial evidence for the Inquiry into the Post Office scandal. Those eligible to take part have been contacted via email by independent research and data analytics firm, YouGov. Recipients have until midnight on 15 August to complete their surveys.
The Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry is an independent public inquiry investigating failings surrounding the Horizon IT system which led to the wrongful prosecution and conviction of sub-postmasters.
Sir Wyn Williams, Chair of the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, said: “It’s crucial that I get as full a response as possible to these surveys, because we have looked long at the past, but now… I want to know about the present.”
The findings of the surveys will be presented as evidence during the Inquiry’s final phase.
