I recently concluded my summer tour of North East Hampshire's small villages with a trip to South Warnborough, where one of the main topics of discussion was the Post Office/Horizon Scandal.
This scandal saw almost 3,000 subpostmasters wrongly pursued by the Post Office when its accounting software, which was known to be faulty, caused illusory financial shortfalls to appear in its accounts.
As the home of leading campaigner Jo Hamilton OBE, who was one of the more than 900 subpostmasters criminally convicted by the Post Office, it's understandable why this is such an important issue for local residents.
As a result, since becoming the area's MP, I've pledged to support the subpostmasters and mistresses, and I made it the subject of my first ever Prime Minister's Question.
In this question, I pushed the Prime Minister for an exact timeframe within which victims could expect to receive compensation.
In response, the Prime Minister told me that the necessary funds had been allocated, and that the Government would make the payments as soon as it could.
However, as we approach a year since this exchange, I'm sadly left frustrated by how little progress has been made.
Speaking to campaigners in South Warnborough, I was particularly dismayed to hear them tell me that the Government's lawyers are only offering victims around 25 per cent of the amount they're due.
The Prime Minister said that these funds had been set aside, the 2024 Budget confirmed this to be the case, and these figures were calculated by the Government's own forensic accountants, so what's the hold up?
It's been 26 years since the start of the scandal, 13 years since the start of the Government's investigation, and seven years since the faulty software was declared legally unreliable by the High Court.
People are dying waiting for this compensation; not only are further delays unacceptable but, at this point, they are outrageous.
For the sake of the thousands of people and families affected by this scandal, the Government simply must get this done.
It's vital that we keep the pressure on the Government, and I was glad to see the independent inquiry into the scandal reaffirm my call for a compensation timeline when they delivered their final report in July.
I'm writing to the responsible minister to ensure that this happens, and will continue to do all I can to deliver victims the justice they're long overdue.
