MPs question Fujitsu's continued role in UK public sector
Briefly

British MPs are pressing the government over Fujitsu's participation in large-scale IT contracts despite its earlier pledge to refrain from bidding during the ongoing Horizon inquiry. Fujitsu had pledged to pause its public sector bids after the Post Office Horizon scandal was publicized, yet it recently won a significant contract in Northern Ireland. Critics, including multiple parliament members, are seeking reassurance from the Cabinet Office about the appropriateness of Fujitsu's continued involvement in public contracts while investigations into the scandal, which led to wrongful convictions, are still ongoing.
Despite its previous pledge to halt bidding for UK public contracts due to the Horizon scandal, Fujitsu has successfully secured a new contract, raising questions.
Members of the House of Commons and Lords are urging the government for clarity on Fujitsu's public sector contract bidding amidst an ongoing inquiry regarding the Horizon scandal.
