00:07 justice in our nation's history. People who worked hard to serve their communities
00:11 had their lives and their reputations destroyed through absolutely no fault of their own.
00:16 The victims must get justice and compensation. Sir Wynne Williams's inquiry is undertaking
00:22 crucial work to expose what went wrong, and we have paid almost £150 million in compensation
00:27 to over 2,500 victims. Today I can announce that we will introduce new primary legislation
00:34 to make sure that those convicted as a result of the Horizon scandal are swiftly exonerated
00:40 and compensated.
