The former Post Office chairman has shocked MPs by claiming that the company’s current chief executive Nick Read is under investigation.
Henry Staunton made the allegation at a hearing to discuss compensation payments to sub-postmasters at the centre of the Horizon scandal.
Alan Bates, the inspiration behind the ITV drama, told MPs the government needed to “get on and pay people”.

MPs were questioning a number of key figures about the pace of financial redress for thousands of sub-postmasters.
The MPs had been told by witnesses earlier in the day that an internal investigation was under way into Mr Staunton over his alleged behaviour while he chaired the company.
However, Mr Staunton alleged that there was actually an investigation into Mr Read.
He also claimed that within an 80-page document – a page of which he showed to MPs, with many lines redacted – it was said that Mr Read wanted to resign from the Post Office because he was unhappy with his pay.
