Post Office inquiry live: Angela van den Bogerd shown letter blaming PO for postmaster's death - BBC News | Post Office inquiry live: Angela van den Bogerd shown letter blaming PO for postmaster's death - BBC News |
(32 minutes later) | |
Angela van den Bogerd is asked about an internal document created after a meeting by the Post Office Executive Committee, at which she had not been present. | |
The inquiry is shown the "context" written in the report, which is consisted of several bullet points. One of them says that the Post Office has no hard power and a minimal influence but was having to pay for the mediation scheme. | |
Another bullet point says "hostile stakeholders including those directly engaged in the mediation scheme by the Post Office." | |
Van den Bogerd says that she didn't put together the report and doesn't recall being approached for her thoughts on its contents. | |
She says the Post Office "never intended" to have hard power or control over the mediation as an independent process was running, and suggests that it was Second Sight, the independent forensic accountants, that were referred to as "hostile". | |
"Were they hostile?" Beer asks. | |
"Not to my knowledge, they were challenging. They were independent therefore they were challenging, that's what I expected them to be," she replies. | |
