Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what his planned timeline is for compensation payments to people impacted by the Post Office data breach in June 2024.
These matters are the responsibility of the Post Office, although the Department for Business and Trade has made clear to them the very serious view which we take of this breach and the need to avoid similar failings in future. The Information Commissioner’s Office is responsible for independent oversight of data protection matters.
