The Prime Minister has responded to Sir Alan Bates’s requests for help with settling redress claims for those affected by the Horizon scandal, but Downing Street declined to commit to the campaigner’s suggested payment deadline.
Sir Alan told MPs that Sir Keir Starmer had not yet responded to his letter urging the PM to ask the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) to set a deadline of March next year for payments, but Downing Street confirmed hours later that a response had been sent.
