Beer goes on to ask Vennells whether she agrees that the Post Office's executive team, which she led, shielded the board from the company's "dirty laundry".
"I'd say it was completely wrong," Vennells replies. Watch inquiry counsel Jason Beer KC grill Paula Vennells about whether she was trying to stop the Post Office board from learning about the executive team's "dirty laundry".
Beer continues that there is a suggestion the executive team could manage problems away, but if the board were to know about these problems they'd need to disclose them to sub-postmasters, Parliament, and the public. You can find our full post on the exchange here.
"I feel very strongly about that," says Vennells, "because one of the elements that was so important to me was to have the board challenge [me]".
