Press Releases
Rishi Sunak has unveiled a major new plan to end the Post Office scandal, after decades of injustice.
The Prime Minister confirmed the Government will introduce new primary legislation to exonerate those convicted as a result of the Horizon IT software.
The legislation will also see compensation handed to the victims of the scandal.
Sunak told MPs at PMQS: “We will introduce new primary legislation to make sure those convicted as a result of the Horizon scandal are swiftly exonerated and given compensation.
“We will also introduce a new upfront payment of 75,000 for the vital GLO group of postmasters.”
More than 700 sub-postmasters were handed criminal convictions between 1999 and 2015 after faulty software wrongly suggested the employees were stealing money.
