The inquiry is now looking again at the Post Office's approach to disclosure. | |
Beer reads from an email sent in July 2013, where Williams writes that issues with Horizon and those impacted will be shared across various units during a weekly conference. He also requests representatives from several teams to attend. | |
Drawing from his witness statement, Williams says this was to raise visibility across the business and that the Post Office's criminal lawyers were keen to have a record of Horizon issues for disclosure. | |
Beer asks if the Post Office had always been expected to retain and record information that might be relevant to its "prosecutorial function". | |
Williams says it seemed to him to be a pragmatic and necessary development because of the position the Post Office was in. | |
