00:00 Ms. Fennels, in the light of the information that you tell us in your witness statement you weren't given,
00:06 in the light of the documents that you tell us in your witness statement that you didn't see,
00:13 and in the light of the assurances that you tell us about in your witness statement that you were given by post office staff,
00:23 do you think you're the unluckiest CEO in the United Kingdom?
00:29 I was given much information and as the inquiry has heard, there was information that I wasn't given and others didn't receive as well.
00:49 One of my reflections on all of this is that I was too trusting. I did probe and I did ask questions.
01:02 I'm disappointed where information wasn't shared and it has been a very important time for me as I have gone through all of the documentation that I've seen since,
01:19 to plug some of those gaps and to remind me what I did see and perhaps haven't remembered.
