Government announces legislation

On 13 March 2024, Government introduced legislation to automatically quash convictions relating to the Horizon Scandal.

Government has introduced legislation to automatically quash convictions relating to the Horizon Scandal.  The Government’s press release can be found here and the legislation has been published here: Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Bill - Parliamentary Bills - UK Parliament

Post Office fully supports the Government’s proposals to speed up exoneration of people with wrongful convictions and provide swifter redress for all victims of the Horizon IT scandal. Our sole aim is that every victim receives, as soon as possible, the justice and redress that they have too long awaited.

We will continue to update this site with further information from the Government.
