MPs slammed Fujitsu today for not contributing “a penny” to the £2 billion redress Bill for victims of the Horizon scandal.

The business and trade committee (BTC), which scrutinises the work of the government department, said it had found “serious structural failings” in the compensation process.

More than 11,500 claimants have received payments worth approximately £1.48 billion, as of February 27, through several schemes set up to compensate postmasters.

The total costs of redress rise to about £2bn once legal and administrative costs are taken into account.
