Rishi Sunak has announced the Government will bring forward a new law to quash the convictions of the subpostmasters caught up in the Post Office Horizon IT scandal.
Mr Sunak said: “This is one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in our nation’s history, people who worked hard to serve their communities had their lives and their reputations destroyed through absolutely no fault of their own.
“The victims must get justice and compensation.”
