Offer Alan Bates a Lord for his outstanding national campaign.
Alan Bates has forced the government to act on the Post Office Horizon scandal. The country is now angry and wants urgent action, which the governmenthas now been forced to take. Post masters and mistresses have been treated disgracefully. We need people like Alan in the Lords.
