A Fujitsu executive has apologised over the firm’s role in the Post Office scandal which he described as an “appalling miscarriage of justice” to MPs.
Paul Patterson, Fujitsu’s Europe director, told the Business and Trade committee that staff may have been aware of “bugs and errors” in the Horizon IT software before 2010.
“Fujitsu would like to apologise for our part in this appalling miscarriage of justice. We were involved from the very start.
“We did have bugs and errors in the system and we did help the Post Office in their prosecutions of the sub-postmasters and for that we are truly sorry,” he says.
Asked whether staff knew there were bugs and glitches in the system before 2010, Mr Patterson initially said he didn’t know but later said “my gut feeling would be yes” when the question was repeated.
When asked if Fujitsu was an ethical company he said: “I believe we are an ethical company. The company today is very different to the company in the early 2000s.”
