Horizon caused problems from the start, Post Office inquiry hears

Price and Miller are going back and forth now about whether Tony Marsh, the former head of security for the Post Office, ever reported to Miller.

She says that in previous evidence Marsh gave to the inquiry, he says he reported to Miller “at least at one point”, but Miller says he has no recollection of this.

“He [Marsh] was in a line working to somebody who worked to me”, Miller says.

In board meeting notes shown to the inquiry from 2003, it says Marsh presented a “security paper on behalf of David Miller”.

Price asks if Miller can help with understanding why Marsh would present this on Millers behalf, if he did not report directly to him.

Miller says: “I can’t, I’m sorry”.

Price seems to be trying to draw a direct line between Miller and the teams who were responsible for privately prosecuting sub-postmasters.
