The first and deputy first ministers call on the UK government to apply new sub-postmasters law in NI.
The first and deputy first ministers and justice minister have called for a law to reverse the convictions of sub-postmasters to also apply in NI.
"We have written to Kevin Hollinrake today setting out our clear opinion that any legislation to reverse the convictions of sub-postmasters must also apply here, given that postal services are a reserved matter and the compensation schemes are UK-wide," she said. Justice Minister Naomi Long said that the UK government including Northern Ireland in its legislation would be "the fastest legislative solution and one that will see those affected in Northern Ireland receiving equitable treatment with their counterparts in the rest of the UK".
