Post Office boss asked about his pay ‘more than expected’ – board member

Amanda Burton tells inquiry Nick Read seemed overly interested in remuneration given Horizon scandal

The chair of the Post Office's remuneration committee has said she was surprised at how frequently the firm's boss, Nick Read, asked about his pay and bonuses, given the pressure the organisation was under due to the ongoing fallout of the Horizon IT scandal.

Amanda Burton, who joined the board of the Post Office as a non-executive director last April, was asked at the public inquiry into the scandal about testimony into Read's so-called obsession" with his pay.
