He became chairman in 2022 but was sacked by Tory then-Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch in January.
He claimed that when he joined, management were reluctant to CRITIC accept High Court judg- Ms Bad ments that the Post Office had been wrong to pursue prosecutions. "They didn't fully accept it, that was my impression; that somehow the case hadn't been put well or whatever," Mr Staunton told the inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal.
