Post Office Horizon scandal campaigner Sir Alan Bates suggests it will be November 2027 before all the claims are finished.

Hundreds of sub-postmasters were wrongfully prosecuted for theft and false accounting after Fujitsu -made accounting software Horizon inaccurately generated financial shortfalls, making it appear money was missing from Post Offices across the UK .

Government disputed the forecast by Sir Alan that it would take until 2027 for all claims to be settled.
