A former sub-postmistress who was wrongly sent to prison while pregnant has rejected an apology from a former Post Office executive, who previously described her conviction as "brilliant news".

Speaking to Sky News, Seema Misra - who was sentenced to 15 months in jail - said former Post Office MD David Smith had "missed so many chances" to apologise over the last 14 years, and is only doing so now as he is giving evidence at an inquiry.
