Solicitor: Tens of thousands Post Office scandal victims

Victims of the Horizon IT scandal could number "in the tens of thousands" if the families of affected sub-postmasters are taken into account, solicitor Neil Hudgell tells MPs on the Business and Trade select committee.

Dr Hudgell says: "There's another class of people that cannot be compensated in a way.

That's the spouses, the children, the parents”.
