The Post office offer only offers half of my claim, says Alan Bates

Between 1999 and 2015, more than 900 subpostmasters were incorrectly pursued by criminal law after the faulty Horizont -IT system in Post -Zweigstellen.

Sir Alan headed a group of 555 subpost masters who took part in the Landmark Group Legal Action against the Post Office.

Her struggle for justice was introduced to national awareness by an ITV drama about the scandal, Mr. Bates against the post office.

The government has set up a specific remuneration fund to ensure that these subpostmasters received additional money to reflect the severity of their situations, but progress has been described as slowly and many are still waiting for a payment.

As part of the GLO program for group disputes (GRO), applicants can either receive 75,000 GBP or strive for their own agreement.

Sir Alan said that promise that compensation systems would be “not legalistic” were “worthless”.

He also demanded that an independent body are created to provide remuneration systems for this and similar scandals of the public sector.

Sir Alan said this third and latest offer was 49.2% of his original claim.

He rejected the previous offer in May 2024, which was about a third of what he had requested.

He described the first offer in January 2024, which was about a sixth of his claim as “cruel” and “crazy”.

From January after the GLO system, 128 millionPresent external.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Department said: “We pay all the postmasters who suffered from this scandal, including Sir Alan, for his tireless campaign for justice, and we have quadrupled the total amount that has been paid to Postmasters since entering the government.

“We acknowledge that there will be no evidence due to the adoption of times, and we therefore want to use the doubt of the doubt about Postmaster as possible. Anyone who is not satisfied with their offer can have their case checked by an expert body that is independent of the government.”
