Post Office Chief Executive Under Investigation Amid Pay Dispute and Horizon Scandal Fallout

Former chairman Henry Staunton reveals CEO Nick Read considered resigning over pay issues, as MPs probe ongoing Horizon IT scandal and compensation delays.

Post Office CEO Nick Read was on the verge of resigning due to dissatisfaction with his pay, according to former chairman Henry Staunton.
An 80-page HR investigation into Read's conduct is underway, with allegations of a fallout with the HR director.
Staunton claims he was the victim of a 'smear campaign' after falling out with Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch over compensation delays for subpostmasters.
Campaigner Alan Bates urges the government to expedite compensation for subpostmasters affected by the Horizon IT scandal, suggesting the Post Office be sold.
Hundreds of subpostmasters await compensation despite government promises, as the Horizon scandal saw over 700 wrongfully prosecuted.
