Prime Minister’s spokesman confirmed that the PM has replied to Sir Alan Bates’ recent appeals for faster compensation to victims of the Post Office scandal. Despite a government commitment to expedite financial redress, many individuals, including former sub-postmasters wrongly prosecuted due to a faulty IT system, are still awaiting payments. A total of £1.8bn has been allocated for compensation, but campaigners argue the process has been painfully slow. Victims like Janet Skinner, who endured wrongful imprisonment, describe the compensation pursuit as a relentless battle. The government aims for substantial payments to be completed by March 2025.
