THE MP for Ynys Môn has named in Parliament two innocent Anglesey postmasters who were victims of a large-scale miscarriage of justice involving a faulty IT system.
Virginia Crosbie said it was important that Margery Lorraine Williams and Noel Thomas were mentioned in the House of Commons as being innocent of any crime after their convictions were quashed by the Court of Appeal last week.
A total of 39 postmasters had their fraud and theft convictions overturned by the court after they were wrongly convicted due to the IT system installed by the Post Office called Horizon.
The UK Government has launched an inquiry into what went wrong. It is thought more than 700 postmasters were wrongly convicted of offences between 2000 and 2014.
