POST OFFICE SCANDAL: Fujitsu expert believes Horizon system operated robustly

Post Office Horizon IT inquiry continues with Gareth Jenkins, former distinguished engineer at Fujitsu Services Ltd, who is due to give evidence for four days.

Mr Jenkins was asked: 'Lastly, that those bugs, errors and defects could result in and cause discrepancies or shortfalls in the branch accounts of sub postmasters, thereby corrupting transactions, disrupting data processing and recording transactions.That was a possibility?'

Mr Jenkins said: 'But I'm not sure that even today I understand what bugs actually did cause the problems that people have suffered from.'

Mr Beer QC then asked: 'Do I take it that you accept his first finding that legacy Horizon was not remotely robust?'

Mr Jenkins replied: 'I don't accept that finding.'
