All eyes were on outgoing Post Office chief executive Nick Read this week as he spent three days in front of the inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal.

Mr Read replaced former boss Paula Vennels in 2019 and was brought in to "right the wrongs of the past".

Wrongful prosecutions may have stopped, but he still had questions to answer about how much the organisation has really changed when he gave evidence.

Mr Read had taken leave of absence from his day job to prepare for the inquiry.

Unlike the appearance of his predecessor, Paula Vennells, there were no tears. But there were some key revelations. ( (Here are five things we learned from his evidence.

Told not to 'dig into' the past
Frustrated about his own pay
Government using Post Office as a 'shield'
Staff implicated by the scandal still working
Contract for sub-postmasters is 'heavy-handed'
