Former Post Office Chair Henry Staunton INSISTS he was told to STALL subpostmasters compensation after an initial meeting with Sarah Munby of the Civil Service shortly after his appointment in January 2023. Henry Staunton outlines how he said there were three main expenditures for the Post Office including the Post Office Inquiry, the replacement of Fujitsu Horizon and the compensation for subpostmasters. He's said that despite this he was told money was tight by Sarah Munby and there was no additional money available from the Treasury. #PostOfficeScandal #SelectCommittee #PostOfficeInquiry #HenryStaunton #SarahMunby #KemiBadenoch

Former Post Office Chair says that the Government was GOING NOWHERE with compensation for subpostmasters from the beginning and only started to take action following the airing on ITV of Mr Bates vs The Post Office in January 2024. He says that notes produced by government have been done so in response to the questions from the Department for Trade and Business Select Committee and, unlike his file notes, were not contemporaneous records of what was discussed at the time. He says that whilst he is not at the Select Committee to deliver judgements, misremembering and lying has been a feature of the Post Office Scandal. #PostOfficeScandal #SelectCommittee #PostOfficeSelectCommittee #HenryStaunton #PostOfficeChair #KemiBadenoch #SarahMunby

Select Committee SHOCK at New ONGOING Post Office HR Scandal as Henry Staunton claims 80 page investigative report into the Post Office by their own Director of HR only contains a 'few lines' about him BUT is allegedly primarily focussed on the actions of the CURRENT Post Office CEO Nick Read who has appeared at the Select Committee also today. Henry Staunton says that he was trying to help Nick Read who he believed was struggling 'emotionally and mentally' and had said he wanted to resign from his £436,000 per year plus bonuses job at the Post Office over issues including pay. #PostOfficeScandal #PostOffice #PostOfficeHR #SelectCommittee #HenryStaunton #NickRead
