Details of law to exonerate wronged subpostmasters announced
Details of legislation to exonerate subpostmasters wronged in the Horizon scandal have been set out by the Government.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak earlier this year announced blanket legislation to clear their names after a TV drama thrust the saga into the spotlight and sparked public outrage.
More than 700 Post Office branch managers around the UK were prosecuted between 1999 and 2015, after the faulty Horizon accounting software made it look as though money was missing from their shops.
