Post Office Horizon Scandal: Compensation Payments

Lord Offord of Garvel (Con)
A company’s culture is set by the board and the management. There has not been a prosecution since 2015, and no one on the board of the Post Office today was involved in the prosecutions. The current board is completely different, and we are now dealing with getting the culture right for this company going forward. We always start with the chair, because that is the top position in the company.
Lord Carlile of Berriew (CB)
My Lords, can the Minister explain why in 2023, of all things, the Horizon contract was extended?
Lord Offord of Garvel (Con)
I am rather relieved to say that I have no idea, so I shall write to the noble Lord.
