Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has refuted claims by former Post Office chair Henry Staunton that he was instructed to delay compensation payments for sub-postmasters, calling them "completely false" and "made up anecdotes." Staunton stands by his comments and has released a statement defending his actions. The dispute arises amid concerns over the handling of compensation for sub-postmasters wrongfully prosecuted due to a faulty computer system.
