Post Office and Horizon - Compensation: follow-up

Non-inquiry session

MPs quiz the Government and other stakeholders on what more can be done to deliver full, fair and fast compensation for victims of the scandal, which has been labelled the worst miscarriage of justice in British history.

MPs hear from Nick Read, Chief Executive of the Post Office, and Paul Patterson, Chief Executive for Europe at Fujitsu, the technology company that manufactured the Horizon computer system at the heart of the scandal.

Kevin Hollinrake, the Government minister responsible for the Post Office, also appears, as will Alan Bates the former sub-postmaster who successfully fought a claim against the Post Office.
