Archbishop Warned That Allegations Are Likely To Surface.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has warned that fresh allegations of child sex abuse against the Church of England are likely to surface. 

The Most Rev Justin Welby said he is braced for an abuse inquiry to reveal bad stories about the Church.  

He said he deals with the issue daily and that the Church needed to be transparent.  

It comes after the Home Office backed Baroness Butler-Sloss as the right person to lead that inquiry.  

Concerns have been raised about her over previous review role in which she is alleged to have told an abused choirboy that she wanted to exclude some of his allegations in order to protect the church.  

But she said she never put institutions before victims. Archbishop Welby said abuse survivors need to be shown justice and called for transparency from the Church on how it dealt with the issues.
