Dear Post Office Limited,

According to the Shareholder Relationship Framework Document between BEIS/UKGI and POL implemented on April 1st 2020 POL must produce an Annual Business Plan and a three year Strategic Plan
to include:

‘high level financial and performance projections, at both the corporate and line-of-business level, with sensitivity analyses of the major risks...’ (p 7-9)

i) What provision has been made in these plans for the ongoing costs relating to POL’s Horizon issues, namely the 47 cases referred by the Criminal Case Review Commission to the Court of Appeal, the 1800 applicants to the Historical Shortfall Scheme and the 900 plus historic sub-postmaster prosecutions POL is currently investigating?

ii) Have these plans been informed by an Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee Report on the potential scale of risk of the above factors to the financial position of POL?

Yours faithfully,

Eleanor Shaikh
