£1.8 Billion: Why Won't Fujitsu Say What It'll Pay for the Horizon Scandal

13th January 2026

Since May 2024, Fujitsu has secured around £1 million a day in new UK government contract extensions — paid by British taxpayers.

Yet despite admitting its role in the Post Office Horizon scandal, Fujitsu still refuses to say how much it will contribute to the £1.8 billion redress bill owed to wrongly convicted sub-postmasters. There is no clear provision in its company accounts either.

This raises serious questions about corporate accountability, public procurement, and whether justice is being delayed — or denied — to the victims of one of Britain's worst miscarriages of justice.

As Chair of the Business & Trade Committee, Liam Byrne MP explains why this matters — and why pressure must continue until full and fair redress is delivered.
