Planet Holyrood - Mass exoneration for Post Office victims and cuts to Scottish education
Manage episode 396179253 series 3541991
The Prime Minister has announced he is introducing legislation to overturn the convictions of sub-postmasters in England and Wales, with Humza Yousaf following suit in a UK-wide plan.
It is estimated that more than 700 people across the UK were wrongly prosecuted by the Post Office between 2000 and 2014 as a result of the faulty Horizon system installed by IT giant Fujitsu.
Meanwhile, hundreds of university places for Scots students will be slashed as part of government budget cuts, a top SNP minister has admitted. Shona Robison told MSPs this week that 1,200 spaces for first year undergraduates would be axed.
A new opinion poll also shows Keir Starmer’s Labour is in line for a 120-seat majority at the general election.
