Former sub-postmaster Jo Hamilton delivered a scathing scandal update as she collected a National Television Award.
Accepting the Special Impact award for the ITV drama Mr Bates versus The Post Office on Wednesday evening (11 September), Ms Hamilton said “nothing has changed” for those affected.
She said: “What I would like you to know is I went to Westminster a couple of weeks back and saw the new Minister. And trust me, nothing has changed.”
She continued: “It’s true. And almost all of these people behind me haven’t been paid yet. Out of a group of 555, more than 300 haven’t been paid yet including Sir Alan Bates.”
