Former Post Office CEO Paula Vennells is set to return to the inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal, which has been blamed for wrongly imprisoning hundreds of subpostmasters.
Vennells, who was CEO of the Post Office from 2012 to 2019, has previously given evidence to the inquiry. However, she has been criticized for her handling of the scandal, and for failing to take responsibility for the Post Office's role in the wrongful convictions.
The inquiry is expected to hear from Vennells again about her involvement in the Post Office's decision to implement the Horizon IT system, which has been found to have a number of serious defects.
The inquiry is also expected to examine Vennells' role in the Post Office's subsequent cover-up of the scandal, and her failure to take action to help the subpostmasters who were wrongly convicted.
Vennells' return to the inquiry is a significant development, and it is likely to put further pressure on her to take responsibility for the Post Office's role in the scandal.
