Lib Dem MPs told what to say about Sir Ed Davey Post Office role

In response to questions about Sir Ed’s initial decision not to meet Alan Bates, the leading campaigner for postmasters, the draft email stresses that in October 2010 the pair did then meet, and that Sir Ed “followed up, writing to him with answers he had been given by Post Office executives. However, the Post Office misled him, providing categorical assurances about Horizon which were untrue.”
