The Commons Business and Trade Committee looks to take action against former Post Office CEO Paula Vennells for potentially misleading Parliament over the Horizon scandal.
During a taped meeting with investigators from Second Sight on July 2 2013, Ms Vennells was informed of the allegations that sub-postmaster branch accounts could be accessed remotely.
Former sub-postmaster and politicians say evidence uncovered by the BBC should prompt criminal inquiry.
The 52-year-old was forced to endure a prison sentence in 2007 over an alleged shortfall of £59,000 from her Post Office in Hull .
The recordings revealed that the company and Fujitsu knew their faulty computer system could alter sub-postmasters' accounts more than ten years ago, despite denying this for years.
