Badenoch: TV Drama Fuels Urgency in Post Office Scandal Compensation
The recent airing of the ITV drama addressing the Post Office scandal has prompted a renewed urgency in compensating affected sub-postmasters, according to Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. During an inquiry, she expressed disappointment that it took a dramatization to highlight the issue, emphasizing the need for the government to act decisively. Badenoch revealed tensions with the Treasury regarding the slow compensation process and admitted that while efforts were made, they were insufficient. As the inquiry nears its conclusion, she advocates for faster compensation despite potential concerns over taxpayer value.
