Campaigner says he personally rejected ‘cruel’ compensation offer as government admits it is still failing to act fast enough
Alan Bates, who has led the campaign for justice for post office operators, has told MPs that he can see “no end” to the scandal, as the government admitted it was still failing to meet its own targets on payouts.
In evidence to the cross-party business and trade committee, Bates, who rejected an initial “cruel” offer of compensation, said his claim for financial redress “still sat there”.
