Improved Searches,Minds foccused,Only one having problems
Dear Post Office Limited,Nick Read,Ben Foat and Kate Gallafent KC have all told the Horizon Inquiry search procedures have improved at POL.On the 16th May 2022 i asked: FOI2022/00350.This concerned Spm being told that they were the only ones having problems with Horizon.Back then you could find no records of it.It seems unlikely that in the last 20 months something has not turned up.Given that a huge number of new people will want to know the answer to this thanks to ITV might I respectfully ask that armed with the improvements described by your people above you have another look for POL staff telling SPM "You are the only one having problems with Horizon?"Thank you,happy new year.

Dear [email address],Thank you for a reply.Can you confirm that the Post Office FOI department has found no record of Post Office staff or others(Fujitsu call centres,external lawyers etc)telling SPM experiencing losses when attempting to balance Horizon "You are the only one having problems?"This will include Auditors,Investigators and Contract Mangers reports of Branch Visits.To be clear it is not that this didnt happen but that your department has not found any evidence of it.
Yours sincerely,
john o'sullivan
