Post Office Statement on Sir Wyn Williams interim report on compensation

A Post Office spokesperson said:

“We welcome Sir Wyn’s interim report and share his view that victims of the Horizon scandal must be provided with full compensation, fairly and consistently. This remains our priority.

“Across Post Office’s compensation arrangements, offers totalling more than £120m have been made to around 2,500 Postmasters, with the majority of these agreed and paid. Interim payments continue to be provided in cases not yet fully resolved.

“Regarding late applications to the Horizon Shortfall Scheme, we can confirm that we continue to accept eligible late applications and publish data each month showing the progress we’re making in resolving these applications and the level of compensation paid.” ENDS
