#PostOfficeScandal This morning the government and more specifically the Department @biztradegovuk will respond to the @PostOffInquiry Recommendations from the 1st Report about Human Impact and Redress that was released in July. The deadline for that response set by Chair Sir Wyn Williams is the 10th October. We have to ask ourselves about the way we carry out inquiries in this country. Whether you look at the Post Office Scandal, whether it is the Infected Blood Scandal, Grenfell, Windrush, Hillsborough or Nuclear Test Veterans, each time an inquiry is held they go on for years and years. They obtain endless amounts of evidence and documents but lack the power to hold those responsible to account. Worse still we spend tens of millions of pounds at the taxpayers expense, appoint a highly respected High Court Judge or retired Judge and then when they make numerous recommendations based on the evidence they have collected over many years, the government can still choose to reject some or all of the recommendations. Sometimes they accept the recommendations with their own interpretation of what it is meant to do. If governments are serious about ending the culture of scandals, and wanting to genuinely compensate people, surely they would accept recommendations in full⁉️ I await with anticipation the governments response later this morning👀
