To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether he plans to review the eligibility criteria for the Horizon Shortfall Scheme Appeals process to ensure that claimants are not excluded from an independent assessment of their compensation because of legal costs arrangements.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether he plans to review the eligibility criteria for the Horizon Shortfall Scheme Appeals process to ensure that claimants are not excluded from an independent assessment of their compensation because of legal costs arrangements.
The Horizon Shortfall Scheme Appeals (HSSA) process was introduced in response to concerns raised by the Horizon Compensation Advisory Board (HCAB) that many applicants to the Horizon Shortfall Scheme (HSS) may not have received comprehensive legal advice when settling their claims. The eligibility criteria therefore exclude individuals who settled with the benefit of fully funded legal advice provided by the Post Office. These criteria were developed in consultation with the HCAB, claimants’ legal representatives and postmaster organisations.
This means that a small number of individuals have not been eligible to access HSSA. However, the appeals process was specifically designed to provide funded legal support from the outset, helping applicants to fully understand and pursue their claims.

Under the 2020 Procurement Policy Note (since updated) departments must explicitly evaluate Social Value (SV) in most procurements above the relevant financial threshold, where it is related and proportionate to the contract, to ensure that public spending delivers wider economic, social and environmental benefits alongside the goods or services being purchased. The policy note also mandates an appropriate KPI.
The Government’s SV Model provided a menu of outcomes aligned to government priorities. The outcome selected was tackling inequality in the supplier’s workforce which included focus on women in shortlists for recruitment and promotions, with the chosen KPI aligning to that.
