Ex-Post Office manager denies being architect of ‘horrendous’ pensions plan
A former Post Office manager has denied being the architect of a “horrendous” plan to target the pensions of fraud-accused subpostmasters.
The Horizon IT inquiry heard ex-chief operating officer David Miller attended a December 2004 board meeting in which he was assigned the task of ensuring “that the pensions of fraudsters were targeted to help ensure the company was reimbursed”.
Mr Miller also denied likening Horizon system developers Fujitsu to a “man who had just shoved 15 inches of bayonet up my posterior”.
He was quoted in a September 2010 PowerPoint and the company then known as ICL Pathway.
