Post Office CEO says evidence was 'sobering'

Disclosure of these documents does feel like obstruction, doesn’t it? What do you say to them? I mean it absolutely isn’t obstruction. We have no reason whatsoever to do anything other than bring transparency to this process. We’re really clear and keen to make sure that we deliver all the documents to allow so when to get to the truth. And that is very, very much my objective and we will be doubling our efforts to make sure we do that. As I just mentioned, we have delivered 73,000 documents since February, over half a million to this extraordinary complex 20 years scandal and we want to make sure that we get to the truth as quickly as we can. That today’s post office can move forward, but most importantly, so that postmasters can get the justice they deserve from those victims. What did you make of what you heard from Mr. Bates today? It was very, very compelling. The evidence that he provided today, very sobering for the for those of us in the post office as we stand and we want to make sure that the culture of today’s post office learns the lessons from the past. That’s very, very much what I want to do.
