The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) reports to Parliament directly and is held to account through the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee. Therefore, the Department for Business and Trade is unable to respond on their behalf.
PHSO has confirmed that they do not have any live investigations relating to the Post Office Horizon scandal.
