A UK Parliament Business and Trade Committee report finds that compensation schemes for victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal remain slow, bureaucratic, and re-traumatizing. Over £1.4 billion has been paid out, but thousands of ex-subpostmasters are still waiting for fair redress. Key criticisms include the Post Office's continued role in administering its own compensation schemes, persistent delays in document disclosure, and the fact that Fujitsu — which built and maintained the faulty Horizon accounting system — has not contributed a single penny to the nearly £2 billion redress bill despite holding ongoing public contracts. MPs also raised concerns that an earlier system called Capture may have triggered additional wrongful prosecutions beyond those already known.
