Redress schemes for Post Office Horizon scandal have serious failings, MPs find

Committee says thousands of victims still waiting for compensation and ‘face unacceptable delays and inadequate offers’

The redress schemes for victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal have “serious structural failings”, a parliamentary committee has found.

Thousands of post office operators are still waiting for the compensation they are owed and face “unacceptable delays, inadequate offers, and administrative processes that ‘retraumatise’ those who have already been wronged”, a report by the business and trade committee said.
