Things are getting a little technical but it boils down to what was known as far back as 2010, about the problems with the Horizon IT system. | |
The inquiry lawyer is asking about issues with ARQ data - that is Audit Record Queries - which show the record of transactions. | |
We're seeing emails written in 2010 which highlight problems with duplicate transaction records at Horizon. The emails show that questions were being raised about the integrity of Horizon - and investigators knew about this. | |
Longman is asked if his department was concerned about this. "Yes" he replies. | |
And another question from the inquiry lawyer - was Longman concerned about historic cases where audit data was not accurate? | |
Longman replies: "I take your point it maybe should've been a trigger to look back at other cases." | |
