The Post Office scandal, involving the wrongful conviction of sub-postmasters based on faulty IT data from the Horizon system, has led to multiple apologies and inquiries. Sir Ed Davey, former Postal Affairs Minister, apologized after criticism from Alan Bates at the inquiry. Former Post Office director David Miller expressed regret over missed opportunities to prevent the scandal. The government, represented by Rishi Sunak, has promised compensation for the victims. Additionally, an independent review has been ordered into a previous Post Office IT system, known as Capture, amid concerns that more sub-postmasters may have been wrongly convicted, including Seema Misra.
