Victims of the Post Office scandal will have charges against them cleared under new law which is set to come into effect in July, according to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
The scandal, which has been described as one of the largest miscarriages of justice in the UK, saw 700 postmasters wrongly convicted of theft and false accounting between 1999 and 2015 after a bug in Horizon IT system lead to apparent shortfalls of money.
This ruined the lives of hundreds of people by tarnishing their reputation and careers.
