The Justice Secretary is holding crunch talks with senior judges on Tuesday on how to expedite clearing subpostmasters from wrongful convictions in the Horizon scandal, Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride has said.
Post Office minister Kevin Hollinrake told MPs on Monday that ways to overturn the convictions were being investigated, including possible legislation.
Mr Hollinrake hinted at a solution as soon as this week after the Government scrambled to take action after the miscarriage of justice was brought into the spotlight by an ITV drama.
More than 700 subpostmasters received criminal convictions for allegations such as theft and false accounting because of a Horizon IT system error.
