Jason Beer, inquiry counsel, pulls up an email sent by Singh in January 2015 – addressed to several top Post Office execs.
In it, he reflects on a request from the BBC for an interview about the issues in Horizon system.
Beer reads out a section of the email relating to Gareth Jenkins, a Fujitsu employee who helped wrongly jail pregnant postmistress Seema Misra.
In the email, Singh writes that Jenkins had been making statements for use in criminal proceedings about bugs not being found in Horizon, despite the Second Sight findings.
The Post Office is entering “dangerous territory”, he said at the time.
Beer asks Singh if he was suggesting that he was again unaware of the bugs.
Singh says his involvement was very limited, adding that his involvement in Misra case was also “very, very limited”.
Beer now asks if the Post Office top brass were unaware of the bugs until the Second Sight report was published.
Singh again says: “The only issues I was aware of were the case of Seema Misra.”
