Post Office minister says people responsible for Horizon scandal 'should go to jail'

The Post Office minister has told sub-postmasters whose lives were ruined by the Horizon scandal that those responsible “should go to jail”.

Kevin Hollinrake said the law had “failed” to protect over 700 subpostmasters who were prosecuted by the Post Office as Fujitsu’s faulty Horizon system made it appear as though money was missing at their branches.
