Post Office campaigner Sir Alan Bates says he is yet to receive reply to letter to PM


Post Office campaigner Sir Alan Bates is yet to receive a reply from Sir Keir Starmer, despite writing to him over a month ago.

Sir Alan said he had written to the prime minister to remind him the “clock is still ticking” on a financial redress deadline for victims.

In his letter, he demanded a March 2025 deadline for compensation for sub-postmaster victims of the Horizon scandal.

Sir Alan confirmed to Sky News he was yet to hear back from the prime minister.
