Post Office campaigners vow to fight on as they get OBEs

Quick Summary:

Four former sub-postmasters are made OBEs in the New Year Honours list.

It emerged that the Post Office has spent £132m of taxpayer money defending itself at the inquiry, according to the latest available figures.

Between 1999 and 2015 hundreds of sub-postmasters were prosecuted and convicted based on information from a faulty accounting system, Horizon, which made it look like money was missing.
