Many of the current debates about management culture at the Post Office relate to the Horizon affair, how the Post Office responded to it, or the current ongoing inquiry into it.
The Horizon scandal has been described as one of the UK’s most widespread miscarriages of justice.
A number of postmasters, who run individual post office branches, experienced difficulties with the Horizon Post Office computer system, which was introduced from 1999. Errors in the system showed false shortfalls on the accounts of postmasters, which the Post Office then demanded they cover.
The Post Office used information from Horizon to investigate and take action against postmasters. There were suspensions, prosecutions, bankruptcies, health problems, family breakdowns and suicides.

Constituents may approach their MP stating that the holder of an honour should have this removed, due to their conduct. An MP can't arrange this, but can explain the process and perhaps support a campaign. A further Casework Article covers the process of nomination and award of honours.
Constituents may write to their MP requesting that someone be nominated or asking for support for a nomination. An MP may make a nomination, as with any member of the public. The MP would have to be familiar with the work or voluntary role the candidate is carrying out.
