Alan Bates accuses the government of being responsible for the Horizon scandal and accuses the Post Office of attempting to silence him. He provides evidence in the Horizon IT inquiry and criticizes the government's lack of interest in addressing the issue.
Alan Bates has said the government must be "held responsible" for its role in the Horizon scandal, as he accuses the Post Office of attempting to "silence him". Mr Bates, one of the key campaigners that led to the Horizon scandal being pushed into the public eye, provided evidence as part of the Horizon IT inquiry today.He told the inquiry that the government was "pumping huge amounts of money into Post Office year after year so they need to be held responsible.
The former subpostmaster was forced to leave his branch in 2003, and like hundreds of others, was falsely accused of stealing money from the Post Office. Documents shown to the inquiry showed how Mr Bates' Post Office contract was terminated in 2003 after he refused to repay Horizon-related sums without being shown sufficient evidence that he was responsible for them, even though he repeatedly raised concerns about Horizon’s integrity.
