Post Office inquiry live: Ex-boss Paula Vennells cries and admits evidence to MPs wasn't true - BBC News Post Office inquiry live: Ex-boss Paula Vennells cries and admits evidence to MPs wasn't true - BBC News

The inquiry is now shown the evidence on issues of complaints about bugs, errors and defects. We saw an email before the break, dating back to October 2013, which was written to Martin Edwards with a total of eight attachments containing complaints from sub-postmasters, where Vennells was seen writing that she found them very disturbing.
In her statement, Vennells says there were about 600-plus bugs and defects being corrected by Fujitsu without the Post Office's knowledge. "Why were they disturbing?" Beer asks.
When asked about where she got that number, she says that she thinks it was from the Horizon issues trial "but I can't remember". Vennelss says that it was "very disturbing and upsetting" reading those complaints and adds that she wanted to share them with her colleagues, "so everyone knew the seriousness of what we were dealing with".
"It's a recent understanding of the numbers, not that one I had at the time," she adds.
