| Post Office inquiry live: Paula Vennells denies trying to close down Horizon review - BBC News | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| Inquiry counsel Jason Beer continues to probe Vennells on how many cases Second Sight were supposed to look into. | |
| Vennells is shown a briefing document for a meeting with Lord Arbuthnot indicating that she wanted to ask him for a review of "systemic defects" by using two or three cases. | |
| After being pressed on whether such a systemic failure can be demonstrated from only a few examples, Vennells concedes that this isn't possible - but adds that Second Sight's report was only an "interim" one. | |
| Beer displays a number of emails on the screen highlighting that Second Sight should only look at a few cases, and asks her a series of questions about whether the Post Office was trying to restrict the scope of Second Sight's investigation. | |
| Was it your view that the investigation should end after 2 or 3 cases? Beer asks. | |
| "I was not trying to close anything down, it's really important that I say that," Vennells says. | |
