Nicola Sturgeon says it is ‘incredibly difficult’ after husband Peter Murrell charged in SNP finance investigation

The Post Office Horizon IT inquiry is back under way after lunch. Rodric Williams, a senior in-house lawyer at the Post Office, is giving evidence for a second day. In the last session he was accused of “suppression, obstruction and cover up” by Ed Henry KC who was acting for subpostmasters who had been victims of the scandal.

If you aren’t overly familiar with the format, usually someone acting as a counsel to the inquiry – today it was Jason Beer KC – will take the witness through their statement and show them relevant documents. This process is often about gently teasing out inconsistencies and where documents contradict what the witness is recalling, effectively inviting the inquiry to then draw its own conclusions.
