| Post Office inquiry live: Ex-boss Paula Vennells cries and admits evidence to MPs wasn't true - BBC News | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| Following a short break the inquiry resumes with Jason Beer KC going over notes from a Post Office board meeting in 2012, where allegations of issues with Horizon were raised and dismissed by the firm's top lawyer at the time Susan Crichton. | |
| The meeting record notes board members were told the firm had won every criminal prosecution using evidence "based on the Horizon system's integrity", as well as receiving positive reports about it from auditors. | |
| Vennells says this is what most people in the Post Office thought was case at the time, but goes on to admit "clearly that was completely and totally inaccurate". | |
| Beer concludes the line of questioning by asking how she thinks false information was given to her. | |
| Vennells replies that it important to note she didn't believe the information was false, adding that it is unlikely other board members thought so too. | |
| "If you're given information by the highest lawyer in the organisation, you take it completely as the truth." | |
