Conservative — Basildon and Billericay

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 July 2024

Debate

Post Office Horizon Scandal

Contribution

I congratulate you, Mr Speaker, on your return to your place, and the Minister on taking up his appointment. Compensation is one part of this, but what victims of this scandal, such as Betty whom I met, want to see are truth and accountability. I am referring not just to Ministers, to whom my right hon. Friend the Member for North West Hampshire (Kit Malthouse) referred, but to those involved in the scandal. What can the Minister say to people in the Post Office and to Betty, who want to see those responsible in the Post Office properly held to account, as well as the compensation for their suffering?
