Conclusion
We are concerned that some sub-postmasters have been denied interim compensation payments despite having had their convictions overturned. The Post Office Ltd. (POL) and the Minister noted that this is because the reliability of Horizon evidence is not central to those individual claimants’ cases. The Horizon story has centred to a large extent on a lack of transparency and trust. It is imperative that POL decisions on compensation are scrutinised by BEIS and are open and transparent.
