Post office IT scandal: Postmaster wrongly accused of theft celebrates clearing name

A former sub-postmaster from Bradford has spoken of his relief after the Court of Appeal cleared his name 11 years after a wrongful conviction.

Greg Harding ran the Post Office at Hipperholme in Halifax until he was accused of stealing £20,000.

He is now the latest of several hundred people like him to be exonerated after the Horizon computer system used by the Post Office at the time was revealed to be the cause of the missing money.

His conviction which was based on evidence from the faulty IT system was quashed. Mr Harding had been given a six month suspended sentence in 2010.

He described how he had to move away from the area and sell his business as a result.
