Mr Bates vs the Post Office

Susan Crichton on Tuesday
Get the popcorn ready

secret recordings, exposing former Post Office GC (General Council) Susan Crichton to allegations that she wanted, at the CEO Paula Venells’ behest, to shut down allegations of Horizon Problems from MPs and Alan Bates of the Justice for Sub-Postmaster's Alliance.

Crichton is reported to have said on a summary of the tape that Paul Vennells (then CEO) was concerned to shut down the MPs and the Post Office staff wanted to control Alan Bates’ campaign for the Justice for Sub-Postmasters Alliance. She talks about managing them and asks for suggestions as to how to shut them down.

In response to concerns raised by Ron Warmington, Director of Second Sight the independent investigators supposedly looking at complaints and Horizon flaws, that he had not been provided with any information to enable him to investigate a large number of complaints, Susan Crichton is said to have said that, “further cases should not go through the Second Sight process [the process agreed with MPs and supposed to be independent] but rather through a Post Office Ltd managed process with senior oversight.”
