Angela Van Den Bogerd previously told MPs there is 'not a culture of denial' at the Post Office in 2015.
Former Post Office boss Angela Van Den Bogerd said she is "truly sorry" for the "devastation" caused to wrongly convicted sub-postmasters.
“I hope my evidence will assist this inquiry with getting to the answers you and so many others deserve.” “So things that I might have missed at the time I really regret that and wish I’d been able to see that back then.”She responded: “I apologise for not getting to the answer more quickly. But with the evidence I had and the parameters of my role at the time, I did the best I could to the best of my ability.”
As a result, the government-owned organisation prosecuted more than 700 sub-postmasters and handed down criminal convictions between 1999 and 2015. Secret tapes, obtained by ITV News show Ms Van Den Bogerd was warned of wrongful conviction six years before an innocent sub-postmaster was cleared
