Recommendation
It is worrying to hear that many of the claims awarded so far may be towards the low end of the compensation scale. To dispel any fears that Horizon victims are not being compensated fairly we recommend that the Government ask the Post Office to provide information showing the spread of average claims paid out so far with a commitment to sharing such details going forward to ensure transparency and trust in the Scheme. We also recommend that the Government is explicit about how BEIS and UKGI are providing oversight of the appropriateness of offers made to claimants.
