- The value of the subsidy is up to £81 million. The purpose of the subsidy is to provide redress to postmasters affected by operational issues identified by the Post Office Process Review.
- Our key takeaways from the Subsidy Advice Unit (SAU) report are:
- Ensure that, if objectives other than the policy objective are mentioned (in this case maintaining an SPEI), they are clearly linked to the policy objective.
- Ensure when a counterfactual is used, you clearly explain and provide evidence on how the counterfactual would have negative effects.
- Consider in detail the extent of the impacts on potential distortions on competition in each of the relevant markets.
