Fujitsu: Post Office Horizon Case

Lord Clement-Jones Excerpts

Tuesday 17th March 2026 Lords Chamber

[Lord Leong (Lab)]

My Lords, the Government are open to all suggestions, and that is something we will consider.

[Lord Clement-Jones (LD)]

My Lords, in Questions answered by the Treasury, I was told that it did not have the power under procurement rules to prevent Fujitsu being awarded new contracts. If that is the case, are the Government going to change the rules?

[Lord Leong (Lab)]

The noble Lord mentions procurement. I am sure that the Cabinet Office is looking into whether any changes need to be made, but a live inquiry is happening at this time. We have to follow it through, and its findings will be published in due course.
