Women in chair and chief executive roles at the Post Office when it tried to cover-up secret Horizon documents

Interesting. Extracts:
Post Office bosses secretly decided in April 2014 to sack forensic accountants who had found bugs in their IT system, documents obtained by the BBC show. They also reveal the government had knowledge of the decision, taken by a Post Office board sub-committee, codenamed “Project Sparrow”… The Project Sparrow sub-committee was led by Post Office chair Alice Perkins [J4 emphasis] and included chief executive Paula Vennells [J4MB emphasis], alongside the Post Office’s most senior internal lawyer, general counsel Chris Aujard, and Richard Callard, a senior civil servant at UK Government Investments, then a division of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The unredacted minutes for 9 April 2014 show the sub-committee asking for a paper to be prepared on the role of Second Sight and “options to support them or reduce their role”. Three weeks later, on 30 April 2014, they agree on a plan to bring the investigation of sub-postmasters’ cases “within the control of the Post Office”, removing Second Sight from its role of investigating sub-postmasters’ cases independently. However, that decision was kept secret from Parliament and the public as the Post Office claimed Second Sight’s independent review supported its approach to sub-postmasters’ complaints. The Post Office was then seeking to defuse the scandal through a mediation scheme, which excluded many victims from compensation.
So much for the oft-touted claim that companies act more ethically when more women are at the top of them.
