In Phase 7 of the Inquiry, we will examine how the Post Office operates today and whether the Post Office has lived up to its commitment of “full and fair compensation.”

We’re asking 16,000 people to share their experiences via two anonymous surveys. Every current sub-postmaster in the UK and Horizon Shortfall Scheme applicants will be contacted.
