Paula Vennells, the former Post Office chief executive, may have been told about a “covert operations team” that could remotely access the Horizon system and adjust branches’ accounts two years before she appeared in parliament.
In newly surfaced allegations, Ms Vennells was briefed by the Post Office’s general counsel that a unit in Bracknell’s Fujitsu headquarters could access subpostmaster’s accounts remotely.
Tapes obtained by Channel 4 show the Post Office’s chief lawyer Susan Crichton confirming twice that Ms Vennells was aware of the allegations. In the audio recording - dating from 2013 - Ms Crichton can be heard saying: “[Paula] knows about the allegation. She knows we are working on it.”
The Talk panel delve into the subject by debating whether Vennells' ignoring of the system faults was deliberate.
