Post Office Horizon scandal: fast and fair financial redress - Business and Trade Committee (Part 2)

Title: Post Office Horizon scandal: fast and fair financial redress - Business and Trade Committee (Part 2)
Runtime: 11:55
Date posted: 2 years ago
Description: The Business and Trade Committee has announced a short inquiry on financial redress in the Post Office Horizon scandal, focused on “fast and fair redress” for victims of what has been described as the biggest miscarriage of justice in UK history.

In a scandal reaching back over two decades, postmasters who run individual post office branches experienced difficulties with the Horizon Post Office computer system. Errors in the system showed false shortfalls in postmasters’ accounts, which the Post Office then demanded they cover.

The situation has been compounded by the ensuing lengthy campaign for justice involving multiple court cases, overturned convictions, the development of several financial redress schemes and an ongoing public inquiry. The ITV drama “Mr Bates vs The Post Office” screened in January 2024 drew widespread public attention to the scandal.

Description: Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.

In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.

The Leader of the Opposition, Rishi Sunak MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.
