To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have consulted Alan Bates about the convictions of sub-postmasters due to the Post Office's Capture project.
On 17 December, the Government published its response to the independent report into Capture, committing to offer redress to affected postmasters. We will develop our proposals through engagement with postmasters and key stakeholders.
The Kroll report does not make conclusions on whether Capture led to unsafe convictions The scale of convictions relating to Capture is so far unknown and no convictions have been overturned by the courts to date.
