"Rishi Sunak's Role in Post Office Scandal Probe"
Rishi Sunak has expressed support for the Forfeiture Committee to reconsider the CBE awarded to former Post Office boss Paula Vennells in light of the Horizon IT scandal, which led to the wrongful prosecution of Post Office staff. More than one million signatures have been gathered in a petition urging Vennells to forfeit her honour, and the committee can recommend honours be stripped if the system has been brought into disrepute. Vennells has apologized to Post Office staff, and Justice Secretary Alex Chalk is discussing ways to help the convicted branch managers clear their names.
