Beer is asking Vennells if she blamed Susan Crichton for the Second Sight review. | |
"If the project hadn't worked out, as had been originally planned, she had some accountability for that part of it," she says. | |
"I didn't blame Susan, that wasn't my style." | |
Vennells says the board had asked her if Crichton was the right person leading it going forward, adding that she believes she expressed her view that Crichton was. | |
We're now seeing a file note from August 2013 on reflections Vennells had made following a meeting with Crichton at a Costa Coffee. | |
"Susan was very, very angry. She yelled at me. She thinks this has damaged her reputation," Beer reads from the file note. | |
Vennells' reflections mentioned that Crichton had raised that Alice Perkins, the Post Office chairman from 2011 to 2015, had made mistakes. | |
She said in the file note she'd told Crichton that "we probably all had". | |
