Paula Vennells returns to Post Office inquiry after tearful first appearance

Paula Vennells, the former Post Office CEO, will return to the Post Office inquiry to give evidence for a second day.

She faced questioning on Wednesday when she tearfully admitted making a false statement to MPs in 2015 – but insisted she did not know she was lying.

The inquiry will hear more evidence from the former group chief executive officer of the Post Office.

The scandal – which has been dubbed the UK’s most widespread miscarriage of justice – saw hundreds of sub-postmasters prosecuted wrongly by the Post Office between 1999 and 2015.
