The former boss of the Post Office has forfeited her CBE for “bringing the honours system into disrepute”, according to a list published on the Cabinet Office website.
A petition calling for Paula Vennells to lose her CBE attracted more than one million signatures.
Ms Vennells oversaw the organisation while it routinely denied there were problems with its Horizon IT system.
More than 700 subpostmasters received criminal convictions for allegations such as theft and false accounting after the Post Office introduced the faulty Horizon software.

Ms Vennells has previously said she is “truly sorry” for the “suffering” caused to sub-postmasters wrongly convicted of offences.
