The Department of Business and Trade engaged Boston Consulting Group to conduct a commercial study on turning the Post Office into a co-operative model, which aims to empower subpostmasters.
Campaigner Alan Bates raised concerns about the feasibility of mutualisation, emphasizing that the government will need to continue subsidizing the Post Office even if subpostmasters take over.
James Arbuthnot, another campaigner, expressed doubts regarding subpostmasters' financial capacity to sustain the Post Office, particularly in light of past losses and significant liabilities.
The ongoing public inquiry into the Post Office's wrongful convictions has revealed staggering costs associated with replacing its problematic IT system, casting further doubt on the viability of proposed reforms.
