The former Post Office boss Paula Vennells refused to answer questions about the Horizon scandal after being seen in public for the first time since a television drama highlighting it aired. Ms Vennells was seen out cycling on Sunday morning and asked whether she had knowingly lied to MPs amid mounting evidence of a cover-up. Leaked recordings have suggested she knew about a “covert operations team” that could remotely access the Horizon system used by sub-postmasters that ultimately resulted in more than 900 wrongful convictions. Channel 4 News filmed Ms Vennells as she left a church cemetery in cycling gear on Sunday morning and asked her whether she had anything to say, and whether she had “lied to MPs” and whether “there had been a cover-up”. “There is a lot of evidence that there has been a cover-up - have you anything to say?” a journalist asked as she cycled away. #postoffice #inquiry #scandal Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just &
