Conclusion
We are disappointed that so few claims have been processed by the Historic Shortfall Scheme considering it was closed over a year ago. The conclusion of only 30% of Post Office and Horizon - Compensationn interim report 25 claims does not represent significant progress. There is a danger that every delay will lead to many sub-postmasters continuing to suffer financially while more may sadly die before they receive justice because of the age profile of the victims.
