David Miller is being questioned on his claim that he did not read the 2003 report by Jason Coyne, an IT expert who found that there were defects in Horizon, during his time at the Post Office. “I didn’t read it,” he told the inquiry. “I have made that very clear to this inquiry that I didn’t read it and it’s a matter of some regret to me.” Sam Stein KC, who represents a number of sub-postmasters, asked: “Mr Miller, one of two things arise out of that.
