Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has responded to Sir Alan Bates’ urgent requests for expedited compensation for postmasters affected by the Horizon IT scandal. Bates, representing the Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance, emphasized the need for full financial redress by March 2025. The government allocated £1.8bn for victims, acknowledging that many former sub-postmasters suffered wrongful prosecutions and financial ruin. Campaigns for justice highlight delays in compensation, with some victims, like Janet Skinner, still waiting for resolution years later. The PM’s spokesperson aims to ensure quick redress while avoiding arbitrary cut-off dates.
