Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many full-time civil servants are working on compensation for postmasters.

Within the Department for Business and Trade, there are currently 60 full time civil servants working on redress for postmasters across the 4 available redress schemes.

Government is determined that all postmasters who suffered as a result of the Horizon scandal receive the full and fair redress they deserve, as swiftly as possible thus we routinely review whether additional staff are needed.
