MPs demand Fujitsu make 'immediate' payments to Post Office Horizon victims

Liam Byrne, chair of the Commons Business Committee, demanded Fujitsu make immediate payments to Post Office Horizon victims, saying too many subpostmasters are still waiting for redress. UK taxpayers have already funded £1.5 billion in compensation for the scandal, and MPs say Fujitsu has not yet contributed toward that bill. Prompt Fujitsu payments would relieve the public cost and speed restitution for operators who were wrongly prosecuted after Horizon system errors.
