Ministers are investigating ways to speed up the overturning of wrongful convictions of sub-postmasters under the Horizon scandal.
Post Office minister Kevin Hollinrake told MPs he expected the government to unveil a solution shortly, after holding talks with Justice Secretary Alex Chalk on Monday.
Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells was coming under greater pressure over her CBE after Rishi Sunak signalled he would support a committee looking into the honour.
The prime minister said he would “strongly support” a probe into whether Ms Vennells should be stripped of her CBE over her involvement in the Horizon scandal which saw more than 700 Post Office staff wrongly convicted of fraud and theft.
