Alan Bates has suggested post office operators could take fresh legal action if the government fails to set a deadline for compensating them.
The campaigner revealed on Tuesday that he has written twice to Keir Starmer requesting an end of March deadline for post office operators to receive financial redress. Bates told MPs he had received no response from the prime minister, and that he and other campaigners wrongly accused of fraud in the Horizon IT scandal were considering legal action.
