The Post Office minister has told Sky News all sub-postmasters convicted over the faulty Horizon software will have their convictions quashed by July and receive compensation by August.

Kevin Hollinrake said the government had moved "exceptionally quickly" as new legislation comes in today that will exonerate those convicted in England and Wales on the basis of the faulty Horizon accounting software.

He also commented on racist remarks made by Frank Hester, the conservatives biggest donor, saying the Tories "don't need to return the money" for making comments about Diane Abbott following his apology.
