Post Office scandal: Chairman Henry Staunton had to go as it 'wasn't working' - Badenoch
The Post Office chairman had to leave his role because it "Just wasn't working", the business secretary says. The Post Office said Henry Staunton had been asked to go by Ms Badenoch. Mr Staunton had been appointed as Post Office chairman in December 2022. A Post Office spokesperson said: "On Saturday afternoon, the Post Office was informed that the business and trade secretary had asked Henry Staunton to stand down as chairman of the Post Office."We have been advised by the government that they will appoint an interim chairman shortly. Public anger led to the former Post Office boss Paula Vennells handing back her CBE. Senior figures from the Post Office and the technology firm Fujitsu, which developed the Horizon software, are currently facing questions at a public inquiry over what happened.
