As of 26 July 2024, we have issued 10 letters confirming to postmasters that their convictions have been quashed by the Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Act 2024.<\/p>

The Ministry of Justice, Northern Irish Executive and Scottish Government are taking all reasonable steps and are working at pace to identify those within scope of the legislation.

It is necessary that this process is undertaken carefully.<\/p>

<\/p>

The previous Government said publicly that most letters confirming to individuals that their convictions have been quashed would be sent by the end of July.
