Thank you for your request of 21st February 2024 to UK Government Investments’ (“

I refer to your request for information as follows:
I noted that a senior UKGI Director, Andy Butterworth joined UKGI from Deloittes in 2016. Did
Mr Butterworth at any time have a role in investigating Horizon on behalf of Deloittes in a
review commissioned by Chairman of POL Tim Parker, at any time prior to his (Mr
Butterworth's) joining UKGI? Since his joining UKGI, has Mr Butterworth had any involvement
in handling matters in relation to the Post Office in his role?

In relation to the first part of the request, Andy Butterworth did not have any role in
investigating Horizon whilst employed by Deloitte.
As to the second part of your request, we can confirm that Andy Butterworth has not been a
member of the UKGI Post Office Limited Shareholder team since joining UKGI.
