Post Office inquiry live: Paula Vennells denies trying to close down Horizon review - BBC News | Post Office inquiry live: Paula Vennells denies trying to close down Horizon review - BBC News |
(32 minutes later) | |
Vennells is now shown an email from the former PR chief Mark Davies to her, in which he says there is a "real danger" in reviewing convictions from several years past which, he says, could raise questions about Horizon and have an impact on the Post Office's public perception. | |
Jason Beer asks whether this email suggests Vennells should think about the media coverage likely to be generated when making a decision on how far back to review convictions. | |
"It could be read that way," Vennels replies. | |
Beer says that Vennells' initial email had asked why they were not reviewing past cases going back several years. Davies' reply said that if the Post Office went back that far it would end up on the front page. | |
"That's a grossly improper perspective, isn't it?" says Beer. | |
"Yes it is, yes it is," Vennells replies. | |
