UK MPs have criticized the slow compensation payouts for victims of the Post Office scandal, calling for binding deadlines and financial penalties if the government does not act swiftly. The Business and Trade Select Committee highlighted the inadequate design of redress schemes and the significant fees paid to lawyers despite only a fraction of the budget being disbursed. Victims, including Seema Misra, have faced long legal battles after wrongful prosecutions based on faulty IT systems. The committee has urged for reforms to ensure prompt compensation.
