Lord Berkeley of Knighton (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025

Debate

Post Office Horizon Inquiry: Volume 1

Contribution

My Lords, I will not repeat everything that we have heard. I agree very much with the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, but on one point she brought up, surely one way that we could allay the suspicions of the general public, which are mighty at the moment, to do with infected blood and this scandal, would be to get on with interim payments. That would at last begin to give these poor victims, and the general public, some confidence that we all mean what we say and that money is going to be forthcoming before some of these victims die.
