Post Office payout progress insufficient, MPs say

MPs criticize inadequate progress in Post Office compensation payouts, stating that many affected sub-postmasters have not received fair redress. Government schemes aim to compensate sub-postmasters falsely accused due to the faulty Horizon IT system, with over 900 individuals wrongly prosecuted between 1999 and 2015. Despite £1bn paid out in compensation so far, the process is deemed slow, with MPs urging better awareness and tracking of potential claimants. With calls for improved compensation processes, a final report on the Post Office scandal is expected on July 8.
