There’s a warning the criminal investigation into the Post Office Horizon scandal could be delayed by 5 years without additional cash.

Commander Stephen Clayman’s in charge of the inquiry, and claims there’s a shortfall of 16-and-a-half million pounds.

Around 1,000 people were wrongly convicted after faulty IT systems made it appear money was missing from branches across the UK.

One of those, Seema Misra from West Byfleet, was jailed for 4 months while pregnant.

The government says it’s important redress is paid out quickly.
