A recent report regarding a potential "second Post Office IT scandal" has indicated that there is a "reasonable likelihood" that the Capture software was responsible for financial discrepancies experienced by sub-postmasters before the Horizon scandal came to light.

The Post Office minister expressed deep concern over the ongoing issues with IT systems, following a report indicating that the earlier Capture system, which was in use before the Horizon system, may have also contributed to financial discrepancies.

Thousands of post office operators have reported ongoing issues with the Horizon IT system, which is central to the Horizon IT scandal. A recent survey revealed that nearly all of these operators are experiencing discrepancies that result in financial shortfalls. As the final phase of the inquiry into the Post Office Horizon IT scandal gets underway, the survey's findings highlight persistent problems with the system, a significant lack of trust in the organization, and a widespread belief among operators that compensation for their troubles should be increased.
