The Morning Poll: Should Fujitsu be blacklisted after the Post Office scandal?

Daily Mail · 3 hours ago

The Daily Mail's Morning Poll asks readers whether Fujitsu should be blacklisted from UK government contracts following the Post Office Horizon scandal, in which faulty software from the firm led to the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of sub-postmasters. The poll comes after it emerged that Fujitsu has continued to win public sector work despite the ongoing fallout from the scandal, reigniting debate over whether the company should still be entrusted with government business.

The article notes that Fujitsu has been awarded a £61 million contract with HMRC, despite calls from campaigners and some politicians for the firm to be barred from further public sector deals. The piece invites readers to vote on whether such contracts should continue to be awarded to the company given its role in the scandal, though full details of the poll's other questions or results are not provided in the available text.
