Campaigner Sir Alan Bates led a years -long effort for justice for sub-postmasters.

Claims he was given a "take it or leave it" offer that was less than half of his original claim.

More than 900 postmasters were prosecuted between 1999 and 2015 after faulty Horizon accounting software made it look as if money was missing from their accounts.
