Post Office scandal unbelievable says ex-chairman
At the time of Mr Leighton's employment there, between 2002 and 2009, the Post Office was a subsidiary of Royal Mail.He told an inquiry into that the scandal "Has been a terrible thing for everybody who has been involved in it, particularly the sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses". Separately, former Post Office investigator Jon Longman said he should have tried harder to get data requested on behalf of Ms Misra, who was eight weeks pregnant when she was sentenced to 15 months in prison. Julian Blake, one of the lawyers acting for the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry, asked why the so-called audit record query requests had been rejected. An internal Post Office email from June 2009 argued the size of Ms Misra's request would have used up too much of its "quota", while another email argued that a lot of postmasters tend to "plead guilty at the 11th hour". Post Office Ltd. Ex-Post Office boss missed chance to stop scandal.
