Robert Daily said he had not realised this was the case at the time and that the false information being included on his application had only come to light as he prepared his second statement for the inquiry. Mr Daily was involved in an investigation into Peter Holmes, a former police officer turned sub-postmaster, who was sacked after he was falsely accused of stealing £46,000 from his branch in Jesmond, Newcastle.
