Seema Misra, the wrongly convicted subpostmistress who was sent to prison while pregnant has said "The apologies don't make any difference. I don't know if I'll ever accept their apologies."
Former Post Office boss Allan Leighton is told he will need to come back to continue his answers at a later date because the inquiry team do not want to rush the evidence. It won't be tomorrow though.
Speaking to the BBC at the Post Office Inquiry today Misra said "I can't get the time back".
Misra was watching on as Jon Longman, the Post Office investigator whose report helped falsely convict her for theft and false accounting, was quizzed this morning at the Inquiry.
She said: "I want proper compensation for each and every victim and accountability".
When asked who she thought was to blame for the scandal she said she blamed the Labour government of 1999 for imposing the Horizon system on the Post Office.
She went on to say that each and every person who's responsible for the scandal - either in the authorities, the Post Office, Royal Mail and Fujitsu, needed to be put behind bars.
Misra explained how she didn't tell her parents, who were living in India, what she was going through, through fear she'd lose them if she admitted she'd been to prison.
"I lost both of them before my conviction was overturned."
