Subpostmasters wrongly convicted of offences during an IT scandal are to receive interim compensation.

Chi Onwurah, Labour’s shadow business minister, said: “This news is bittersweet – for those sub-postmasters who lost their jobs, homes, and reputations, for those who have still not had their convictions overturned and so will not be in scope, and for those who lost their lives, for whom this news comes too late.”
