The boss of the Post Office Nick Read has been cleared of misconduct allegations after an investigation on behalf of the organisation.

Mr Read also has the confidence of the government, a spokesperson said.

Although the existence of allegations against Mr Read surfaced during a hearing looking at the Post Office Horizon scandal, the misconduct claims were separate from that.
Mr Staunton told MPs who were looking into compensation payments for sub-postmasters over the scandal that Mr Read was at the centre of an investigation, consisting of allegations made by the Post Office’s former HR boss.
He claimed that Mr Read and the senior HR person “fell out” and that the allegations were about Mr Read’s “conduct and lack of his management of the many governance and compliance issues”.
Mr Staunton also claimed Mr Read had tried to resign four times during his time as chair of the Post Office, between December 2022 and January 2024, and had been “badgering over his salary”.
The Post Office said Mr Staunton’s claims contained “inaccuracies and falsehoods” and Mr Read told his staff last month that he “absolutely refutes” the claims made against him.
