if it decided to look at revoking the cbe of the former post office boss, paula vennells. calls have been growing for her to lose the honour because of her role in the horizon scandal, in which hundreds of sub postmasters were convicted of fraud and other offences, after problems caused by a faulty computer system. this afternoon, thejustice secretary and post office minister have met to discuss compensation for the victims. both the prime minister and the labour leader, sir keir starmer, have been speaking about the scandal. take a listen. 0ver over the past few years, my predecessor started the process of doing that, had the inquiry. i approved as chancellor the schemes, that are being paid out. people should know that we are on it and we want to make this right. the money has been set aside. we are now looking at is how can we speed all that up? understandably we... i a very clear and want to get that out the door as quickly as possible. there are legal processes people had to go through, but thejustice
if he would act to clear the hundreds wrongfully convicted or have government, not post office, lawyers handle their appeals. the justice secretary is looking at the things that you have described. it would not be right to pre—empt that process. obviously there is legal complexity in all of those things but he is looking at exactly those areas that you have described. it is right that we find every which way we can do to try and make this right for the people who were so wrongfully treated at the time. next up, one of his signature but stalled policies, focused on this place, rwanda, and his attempts to deport asylum seekers to have their cases dealt with by the east african country. government documents seen by the bbc suggest that, as chancellor, mr sunak thought the policy won't work as a deterrent, but as prime minister, he is pushing ahead with it. i absolutely believe in the value and importance of having deterrents. in terms of the scheme, i was chancellor at the time. myjob is to make sure that we get
had the inquiry, actually, as chancellor, i approved the compensation schemes of the first time which are now in the process of being paid out. almost £150 million has been paid out to thousands of people. so, people should know that we are on it and we want to make this right. the money's been set aside. what we are now looking at is how can we speed all of that up? understandably, we... i am very clear, want to get that out of the door as quickly as possible. there are legal processes that people have had to go through but the justice secretary today is meeting with the relevant ministers to see is there more we can do to speed up some of those processes. but people should be rest assured, the money is there. i proved it as chancellor. there are three different compensation schemes and we will do everything we can to make thisright for all the people affected because it is simply wrong what happened. they shouldn't have been treated like this and we will do everything we can to make it right for them. i think the whole post office prosecution scandal is exactly that, a scandal, with a massive impact on human lives. i know one of the individuals affected who had a stroke

a computer fault mistakenly showed money was missing from their stores, leading to many being jailed or left bankrupt. 700 branch managers were convicted, but fewer than a hundred have had those convictions, overturned. ministers are facing growing pressure, after a tv drama highlighted the tragedy. hannah miller reports. i don't know where it's gone. it's the itv drama depicting events that have destroyed real lives — leaving hundreds of sub—postmasters with criminal convictions, sacked or bankrupt, after being forced to pay the post office for losses in their branch accounts that never existed. at an event in lancashire this morning, the prime minister was forced to deny it had taken a drama to make the government focus on the issue. rest assured, the money is there. i approved it as chancellor. there are three different compensation schemes and we will do everything we can to make this right for all the people affected.
