Recommendation
We share concerns about the process by which claims to the Historic Shortfall Scheme are assessed and then reviewed by the Independent Panel. Bearing in mind that the Post Office (POL) bears a major part of the responsibility for the Horizon scandal, it seems perverse that POL is making initial recommendations regarding claims.
Government Response Summary
The government stated it accepts the recommendation regarding concerns about the process by which claims are assessed.
