A "LONG LIST" of people should face justice in court for trying to Icover up the Post Office scandal, a former minister has said.
Labour MP Kevan Jones called for those behind Britain's biggest miscarriage of justice to be held to account.
Hero postmaster Alan Bates, one of hundreds wrongly accused of theft because of the faulty Horizon IT system, said: "We've waited long enough, don't let them off the hook.
Mr Jones was a defence minister under Gordon Brown and now sits on the Horizon Compensation Advisory Board. He said:
"Getting compensation for the victims of this scandal is obviously a priority. But if you speak to them, their wish is that the people who are responsible are held to account.
"There's a long list of people with questions to answer and if any of them meet the criminal threshold, then they should face justice.
"This isn't a scandal caused by human error. There were deliberate attempts to cover up the truth.
