Raymond Grant told the probe he considered William Quarm to still be guilty of stealing money from his Post Office branch in North Uist, Scotland, But he denied that was the reason for not regarding the inquiry as a priority.

Mr Quarm was convicted of embezzlement in 2010 and told to do 150 hours of unpaid work.

He died two years later aged 69 and his conviction was quashed in the Court of Criminal Appeal last year.

Mr Grant, who no longer works for the Post Office, also lamented that "there was nobody paying me the salary to do the work that we're here talking about today" as he was asked to recall his work.
