David Miller has already given evidence in phase two of the inquiry, which looked at the creation and rollout of Horizon, in October 2022. Emma Price has thanked him for attending to give additional evidence for phases five and six, which look at issues of redress and governance. A former Post Office chief executive who earned nearly £2 million in pay and bonuses during his tenure will give evidence to the inquiry today. David Mills, who was previously a banker at HSBC, joined the Post Office in the top role in 2002. He stepped down at the end of 2005, when Royal Mail axed the role – and his successor Alan Cook was appointed managing director. Mr Mills’ tenure came in the early stages of the Horizon scandal – which would see more than 900 sub-postmasters wrongfully prosecuted because faulty Horizon software incorrectly recorded shortfalls on their accounts.
