Access to Redress Schemes

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 April 2024. It occurred during Backbench debate on Access to Redress Schemes.

It is about power, is it not? As the hon. Gentleman rightly says, the individual does not have the financial means or expertise to take forward those cases against either a corporation or a Government. In the Post Office scandal, the Post Office spent £100 million

of our public money defending a case that they knew they would not win, because they were trying to stop the truth coming out and to bankrupt and stop the individuals from concluding the case.
