Mr Bates called the organisation a ‘dead duck’ that is ‘beyond saving’ during his evidence on Tuesday.
Lead campaigner and former subpostmaster Alan Bates has told the Horizon IT inquiry he believed the Post Office was “definitely trying to outspend us” as part of its “aggressive” tactics at the High Court.
The Post Office has come under fire since the broadcast of ITV drama Mr Bates Vs The Post Office, which put the Horizon IT scandal under the spotlight. One slide read: “Bates had discrepancies but was dismissed because he became unmanageable. Clearly struggled with accounting, and despite copious support, did not follow instructions.”
Former subpostmaster and lead campaigner Alan Bates, accompanied by his wife Suzanne Sercombe, arrives to give evidence Edward Henry KC, who represents a number of subpostmasters, asked: “You’ve exposed over many years the Post Office’s suppression of disclosure covering up the truth over Horizon’s flaws, but you have also exposed, have you not, the Government’s reckless indifference to the Post Office’s misconduct over many years, would you agree?”“Since this year, I suppose, since the drama, we’ve had far more publicity about the issue nationally.
