Horizon IT System: Compensation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what progress his Department has made on distributing compensation for people impacted by failures in the Horizon system.
Answered by Gareth Thomas
Government has made significant progress in delivering redress to postmasters affected by the Post Office Horizon Scandal. As of 31 January 2025, approximately £663 million has been paid to over 4,300 claimants across 4 schemes, an increase of £427 million since the end of June 2024. There is however more to do.
