Post Office minister 'horrified' at more IT faults

Quick Summary:

A report says it is likely that Capture, which preceded the Horizon system, also caused shortfalls.

Neil Hudgell from Hudgell Solicitors, who represents 70 sub-postmasters who used Capture, said: "It should never have needed such a long, hard battle to reach this stage, and there now must not be a long, hard battle ahead for exoneration and compensation.

A report said "there was a reasonable likelihood" that the IT system, called Capture, could have created cash shortfalls in accounts.
