Post Office (Horizon System) Compensation Bill

I am glad that the Minister has clarified that relationship, but my concern is that, for as long as I can remember, the Government have been preaching shareholder activism. What happened to that when it came to the shareholder—the Government —in the Post Office being active? Did nobody notice the pile of newspaper clippings about the cases? I do not remember any Minister standing up and saying

“Right, we’re going to look at this” until after the High Court judgment. Why did the Government fail on their own so-called shareholder activism?
