Speed up the payment of compensation for sub-postmasters

What the petition asks

Speed up the payment of compensation owed to Sub-Postmasters for the way that they were treated and wrongfully accused by the Post Office. This has gone on for far too long.
The Government has schemes for compensating sub-postmasters affected by the Horizon scandal. But we think the amount of time taken to recompense these people is totally unacceptable by anyone's standards. They have been victimised by the Post Office, and the Government is the sole shareholder.
