that's a crucial question because at the time when adam crozier was chief executive, royal mail and there the same organisation office where the same organisation but there was a governance board that he did not sit on, and so you are right. at the beginning of his testimony, he's likely to focus on the relationship between royal and the relationship between royal and the post office and therefore what adam crozier would have been aware of at the time. the issue is that there were hundreds of sub—postmasters who were prosecuted during his tenure and also there are sub—postmasters who say they've written to adam crozier during that period, one gave testimony to the inquiry in 2022, saying that he wrote to him, trying to explain what was happening and then received no response and then was told by a manager never to e—mail him again so they will be questions as to whether he saw those e—mails, whether he thought those issues were important in the first place. he is used to being under pressure because he held some topjobs. he being under pressure because he held some top jobs. he was at t
