Post Office boss to return bonus after Horizon scandal

The boss of the Post Office will return all of his bonus payment for his work on the Horizon inquiry into hundreds of wrongfully convicted postmasters. The Post Office has not said whether other workers who received bonus payments linked to the inquiry will also return their bonus payments. Mr Read received a bonus for the financial year 2021-2022 and part of that bonus was linked to his participation in the Horizon inquiry. The Post Office was rebuked by the chairman of the Horizon inquiry, Sir Wyn Williams, who questioned the awarding of the bonus before the inquiry had yet concluded. "Following my repeated requests, I'm pleased that the CEO of the Post Office has decided to return all of the bonus payments he received in respect of the statutory inquiry into the Post Office-Horizon scandal," he added.
