Fujitsu wait for end of inquiry to decide compensation

The company that made the faulty accounting software, Horizon, that saw hundreds of Post Office workers prosecuted says they will wait until the end of the inquiry to decide how much to pay out.

Earlier this month, the technology giant told MPs it will contribute towards compensation payments for subpostmasters who were wrongfully convicted after failures in its Horizon IT software made it look as though money was missing from their branches.

More than 700 Post Office branch managers were convicted between 1999 and 2015.

The inquiry continues.
