Post Office Manager admits 'evidence not always gathered'

Post Office Security Manager Graham Ward admits to the Post Office Inquiry that 'evidence not always gathered' to support the Post Office prosecution of subpostmasters, including essential ARQ (Audit Record Query) data that could identify who is alleged to have committed the crime.

Earlier assertions that it would always be gathered in an Audit shortfall case seem to fall apart under continued questioning from Jason Beer KC at the Post Office Inquiry.

Graham Ward's testimony that Horizon balances could establish a shortfall and that ARQ data from Fujitsu could establish who has caused it seems to leave any Audit case without the requisite ARQ data dead in the water...
