The public inquiry is taking further evidence as it investigates the wrongful convictions of postmasters.
The process is expected to take several months, with witnesses called who were involved in the design, roll-out, operation and management of the new system.
"I reported [these issues] to my line manager and he then reported that to a weekly meeting with Fujitsu Training Services, where both Fujitsu and the Post Office would have been present and glitches would've been discussed," he said.Jez Thompson worked on Fujitsu's Horizon Training Project which covered 60,000 Post Office branches
The project was already running late, and he was under pressure, because the firm would only be paid once a "working system" was delivered, he said. The Metropolitan Police is currently investigating two people over potential perjury - failing to tell the truth under oath - during those trials. No-one from Fujitsu has apologised, and the company has not offered any financial contribution to towards the compensation bill for the victims of the wrongful prosecutions.
The Post Office used evidence from Fujitsu data, and called on Fujitsu staff as witnesses, when it pursued criminal prosecutions against more than 700 of its own staff. They were accused of theft and false accounting, with many others having their contracts terminated.The Post Office has said it is "sincerely sorry" for the impact of the scandal on the wrongly accused postmasters, and that it believes the inquiry will ensure "lessons are learned".
