ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER INQUIRY
Post Office Limited: The Gift That Keeps on Investigating
So here we are again.
The Department for Business and Trade has today published the terms of reference for yet another independent investigation into Post Office Limited.
This time: the Network Transformation Programme.
The one that ran from 2010 to 2019. The one that ended seven years ago. The one involving allegations of coercion, bullying, misrepresentation, and the provision of unregulated financial advice to postmasters being press-ganged onto new contracts.
Coercion. Bullying. Unregulated financial advice. Misrepresentation.
Not the words of a campaigner. Not the words of a Barrister in an adversarial hearing. The words of a Government department. In a formal terms of reference. Published today. On https://t.co/CCuaiziWT1. Under the crest.
The investigation will be led by Adam Tolley KC and will proceed in three elegant phases: gather evidence, analyse it, then produce an assessment that DBT can use "to decide whether further action may be needed." Whether. Further action. May be needed.
Ponder, if you will, the category known in this document as "hard-to-place" SubPostmasters. People who wanted to leave the Post Office Network but were trapped: unable to receive their leaver's payment until a suitable replacement could be found. SubPostmasters, in other words, who were stuck. And who, while stuck, were apparently subject to the full range of NTP implementation practices now under examination.
The document also notes — with admirable precision — that the investigation will examine scripts used by "field change advisors." Specialists, we are told, responsible for converting Branches to new operating models. One imagines those scripts were not light reading.
Correspondence between the NFSP, Government Ministers, and Senior Officials is also in scope. Students of the Grant Funding Agreement between the National Federation of Subpostmasters and Post Office Limited — the arrangement by which the supposed representative body of SubPostmasters was funded by the organisation it was meant to hold to account — may find that particular thread worth watching.
The scope excludes Horizon IT matters. Those, we are reminded, are covered elsewhere. The Scandal is now so large it requires formal partitioning.
Postmasters affected by the NTP can submit evidence to [email protected].
They can also write to an address in Admiralty Place, London SW1A 2DY — should they prefer to do it the old-fashioned way, as perhaps befits an institution that has been doing things the old-fashioned way for rather longer than is comfortable.
The final report will be published. Eventually. In the fullness of time.
In the meantime: another investigation. Another KC. Another phase of evidence-gathering. Another assessment. Another decision about whether further action may be needed.
The Network Transformation Programme ended in 2019. The Statutory Inquiry has not yet concluded. Fujitsu has not paid a penny.
But we are, at least, still gathering evidence.

#PostOfficeScandal #NFSP
THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF SUBPOSTMASTERS: A VERY GENEROUS ARRANGEMENT
Or: How To Spend £30 Million of Public Money Buying Silence and Call It "Representation"
The National Federation of Subpostmasters — that fearless champion of the nation's Sub-Postmasters which, when its members were being wrongly prosecuted, bankrupted and imprisoned, bravely... checks notes... did absolutely NOTHING.
This, it transpires, was not mere incompetence but contractual obligation. The NFSP's 2015 Grant Funding Agreement with Post Office Limited — a snip at £30 million-plus of publicly-backed funds over 15 years — contained "restrictive covenants" prohibiting media campaigns, public protests, funding litigation, or indeed any behaviour "materially detrimental" to Post Office interests.
An organisation nominally representing Sub-Postmasters was contractually forbidden from representing Sub-postmasters. One imagines the irony was lost on nobody except the NFSP's leadership.
Mr Justice Fraser was characteristically direct, finding the NFSP "not remotely independent of the Post Office" and noting it had "put its own members' interests well below its own."
A 2013 email from then-General Secretary George Thomson rather gave the game away: "If necessary, NFSP will drop Union badge to sign contract."
The badge duly dropped. The cheques duly cleared.
THE PROCUREMENT QUESTION NOBODY ASKED
The agreement was styled as a "grant" — conveniently sidestepping the competitive tendering requirements of public procurement law.
Yet the Post Office wasn't dispensing charity. It was purchasing two very specific services: (1) professional representation of its network; and (2) guaranteed organisational silence. That, in any rational analysis, is a public services contract requiring open competition under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
No advertisement. No tender. No competition. No transparency. Just a quiet arrangement between paymasters and the paid.
THE VALUE FOR MONEY QUESTION
Which brings us to the matter HM Treasury and/or the Public Accounts Committee might wish to examine with some urgency.
Post Office Limited is government-owned. This was effectively public money. Did spending £30 million-plus to fund an organisation contractually prevented from challenging Post Office decisions — during a period when those decisions were destroying innocent lives — represent value for money?
Does it satisfy Treasury rules on Managing Public Money, which require that expenditure achieves "good value for the Exchequer as a whole"?
Or did the British taxpayer unwittingly bankroll the institutional gagging of the very people who needed a voice most?
THE DEMOCRACY QUESTION
The NFSP's constitution, meanwhile, prevents ordinary members from voting directly — requiring instead "board-approved intermediaries," with Directors retaining absolute veto power.
Former National Executive Officer Mark Baker called this arrangement "nothing more than a sham." It would take a braver commentator than this one to disagree.
THE EXISTENTIAL QUESTION
The Procurement Act 2023 will finally require competitive tendering for Sub-Postmaster representation.
The NFSP must now compete on merit — a novel experience for an organisation whose primary qualification was its willingness not to rock the boat while it sank.
Sub-Postmasters deserved a representative body that would fight for them. They got one contractually bound to silence.
The invoice, naturally, went to the taxpayer.
PS. Note the magnaminous advice below assisting @PostOffice in their fight against 555 SubPostmasters in the Bates vs. The Post Office GLO Litigation. 🤷♂️

Word from the high seas reaches shore that 'SS NFSP' is not a happy ship.
Samantha Carr has resigned from the 'Culture' Committee as unable to continue and maintain her integrity once it became apparent that Culture Committee was 'just a box ticking exercise due to the scrutiny by CIJ and the Inquiry'.
Samantha's resignation letter follows:
"Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from the NFSP Culture Committee, effective immediately.
This has not been an easy decision; however, I can no longer continue to serve on a committee within an organisation where a toxic culture is so deeply embedded and where there appears to be a persistent reluctance to address or act upon reports of such behaviour.
It has also become increasingly clear to me that the Culture Committee, in its current form, is largely ineffectual. Without a radical structural and cultural transformation within the wider organisation, any attempt to create genuine change will remain superficial and unproductive.
Furthermore, I am deeply concerned by the organisation’s continued insistence that it is “member-led” while failing to meaningfully engage with its members. The absence of opportunities for face-to-face dialogue or open consultation only serves to reinforce the disconnect between leadership and membership.
It is with regret that I step down, but I do so with the conviction that real progress will only be possible once the organisation commits to transparency, accountability, and genuine engagement with its members.
Yours sincerely,
Samantha Carr "

Q&A: POST OFFICE - NFSP GRANT FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT
Q: Why question the Post Office’s “Grant” to the NFSP❓
A: Despite the label, the arrangement looks like a services contract — the NFSP is paid to deliver representation, communications, and training, all under Post Office direction. That means Procurement Law may have been sidestepped.
Q: What’s the Legal risk❓
A: If it is a disguised contract, the Post Office may have breached the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 by avoiding open competition. Remedies may now be time-barred, but the legitimacy of the deal remains questionable as does the 'Deed of Amendment dated 16th September 2024.
Q: Why is NFSP Independence an issue❓
A: The NFSP ceased being a Union and now relies almost entirely on Post Office funding. That dependency compromises its independence and as highlighted by Justice Fraser, raises concerns about whose interests it really represented.
Q: How much taxpayer money is at stake❓
A: £37.5 Million was committed under this 15-year deal, running through until 2030.
Q: Who benefits more — the NFSP or Sub-Postmasters❓
A: The NFSP gains financial security, while many Sub-Postmasters still face inadequate remuneration. Redirecting those funds could directly support the people keeping Branches open.
Q: Should Taxpayers’ money prop up a Non-Independent organisation’s exclusivity — or be better used to supplement Sub-Postmasters’ pay and helping secure the long-term viability of the Post Office network for all concerned. ❓

I am listening to “The Great Post office Scandal” by @nickwallis on my commute.
Nothing has ever made me as angry as these events, and the inhuman way @PostOffice, its suppliers, partners and staff, alongside @fujitsu_uk and the #NFSP treated the SPM.
It’s truly dusgusting.
#PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry #StateCoverUp #NetworkTransformation #NFSP The @nfsp produced this podcast to highlight whether Postmasters were wrongly encouraged or compelled to convert to Network Transformation.
See FLORA PAGE's questioning of Sir Martin Donnelly below on the grubby, covert attempts by POL to influence @biztradegovuk to support a shift from VOLUNTARY to COMPULSORY participation in Network Transformation.

FLORA PAGE elegantly squeezes out of Whitehall Mandarin Sir MARTIN DONNELLY, his total disdain towards the covert, manipulative methodology employed by @PostOffice to exert influence on him and others in HMG to shift away from voluntary to compulsion in terms of Network Transformation.
MARK DAVIES, ex SpAd to Jack Straw and friend of his wife POL Chair Alice Perkins was at the forefront of using the 'Dark Arts' of influence in Westminster and Whitehall at the expense of the lives of so many SPMs. Grubby little man.

REMARKABLE TIMING AFTER 5 YEARS OF NEGOTIATION 👇
NFSP Statement: Updated GFA
Sep 25, 2024 |
Ahead of our Chief Executive Calum Greenhow’s evidence session at the Post Office Horizon IT Public Inquiry on Thursday 26 September, we can now publish the Deed of Amendment to the Grant Funding Agreement of July 2015.
As members will know, the original GFA was the subject of criticism by Lord Justice Fraser in the Common Issues Judgement of March 2015. Following that judgement, the NFSP set about having changes made to the GFA. It has taken five long years to negotiate those changes with the Post Office, but the amended and updated version has been signed and dated and is now in force.
Calum Greenhow said: “Although I have always spoken out on behalf of the NFSP whenever it was necessary and challenged the Post Office whenever needed, it was vital that the GFA was changed and updated in order to ensure that the Post Office could not point to any restrictions and seek to control our narrative. Some of the changes in the revised GFA under the annual grant funding purpose of the NFSP include: (i) negotiating changes to remuneration on behalf of and for the benefit of Postmasters; (ii) challenging, reviewing and commenting on new or updated Post Office proposed policies or proposals on behalf of and for the benefit of Postmasters; (iii) representing its members including in relation to disputes with Post Office; (iv) providing welfare and support to Postmasters in each case in relation to Postmasters, operation of Post Office branches and all business carried on by Postmasters on their own account from Post Office branch premises in accordance with their contract for the operation of the Post Office branch.
"In my view, it was the ability for the NFSP to be free to challenge the Post Office and be able to be the representative body that Postmasters need which was the issue with the former GFA. The updated GFA should enable the NFSP to defend the interests of Postmasters within a constructive and collaborative relationship with Post Office.”

POL Board Member Elliot Jacobs states that in his experience @NFSP are ineffective at protecting the interests of Postmasters. Calum Greenhow should be asked tomorrow what it is @NFSP actually does for the GFA💷 it receives from @PostOffice.
