Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. Minister, you will be aware from the Horizon scandal that that company has destroyed people's lives across these islands and driven some to suicide. We have to ask serious questions about Fujitsu and companies like it. The scandal has been known about for many years. I suggest that your Department and officials need to take action. Fujitsu has £775 million of contracts in total. It has destroyed people's lives but has been handsomely paid by Departments. That is completely unacceptable.
