Fujitsu government contracts under scrutiny in light of Horizon scandal

Treasury committee writes to 21 bodies including Bank of England and HMRC to demand details of post-2019 deals

Fujitsu's receipt of lucrative government contracts despite its role in the Post Office Horizon scandal has come under greater scrutiny after the Treasury committee wrote to organisations including the Bank of England and HM Revenue and Customs to demand details of their contracts with the tech company.

The influential group of MPs told 21 public bodies, including the Treasury itself, to provide information on work given to the Japanese-owned company since 2019, when the high court ruled there had been dozens of bugs and errors in its Horizon IT system.
