MPs and peers have urged Fujitsu to make immediate or interim payments towards compensation for Post Office Horizon victims. The UK public purse has paid approximately £1.5bn in compensation to these victims, according to Bluesky. Fujitsu supplied the faulty Horizon software to the UK Post Office, as reported by the Guardian, but has not yet made any payments towards the compensation costs for the scandal.

Liam Byrne, who chairs the Commons business committee, states that a large number of operators are still awaiting redress. Kevan Jones, a Labour peer who has campaigned for subpostmasters affected by the scandal for 15 years, characterizes Fujitsu's delay as 'hiding behind' the public inquiry. Jones states that Fujitsu has apologized and promised to pay, accepts partial blame, but has not yet paid.

The source argues that voluntary urging is insufficient and that emergency legislation is required to compel payment. Kevan Jones highlights the contrast between Fujitsu extending contracts and victims waiting for compensation paid by taxpayers. No one has been prosecuted for the Post Office Horizon scandal, according to Bluesky.
