The Business and Trade Select Committee expressed that compensation for victims of the Post Office scandal is not paid quickly enough, emphasizing the need for binding timeframes on the claims process. Committee chairman Liam Byrne MP noted that the Post Office should not be involved in administering claims, arguing that the government needs to enforce financial penalties for delays in compensation.
Seema Misra, a victim of the Post Office scandal and now an OBE, highlighted the ongoing injustice, recalling her harrowing experience of wrongful imprisonment while pregnant. She emphasized that despite efforts, the scandal remains unresolved, demonstrating the lasting impact of the flawed Horizon accounting system on the lives of many sub-postmasters.
