Cameron cannot recall ‘in any detail’ being briefed on Horizon scandal as PM

Foreign secretary says anyone involved in government in past two decades has ‘got to be extremely sorry’

David Cameron has said he cannot remember “in any detail” being briefed about the Horizon scandal while he was prime minister.

The foreign secretary, who was in No 10 from 2010 until 2016, faced questions on what he did to stop the growing scandal following reports that the Post Office could be facing a £100m bill and insolvency after claiming tax relief for its compensation payments to post office operators.
