Paula Vennells: Key Questions into the Horizon IT Scandal Inquiry

Former chief executive is to give evidence at inquiry into Horizon IT scandal this week. It is a moment wrongly convicted post office operators have waited years for. From Wednesday the former Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells will appear before the long-running inquiry into how hundreds were pursued in the courts, fined, and jailed over accounting shortfalls that were actually the fault of the Horizon IT system.

Vennells, who held the top job between 2012 and 2019, has become the highest-profile face of the scandal since the ITV drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office galvanized public opinion when it was screened in January - despite her keeping a low public profile in the past decade.
