Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby explains why he resigned

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has said it was "clear" he had to stand down during his final speech in the House of Lords. Welby resigned after the Makin review was published, which exposed the church's safeguarding failures in relation to serial abuser John Smyth. On Thursday, he said: “The reality is that there comes a time if you are technically leading a particular institution or area of responsibility where the shame of what has gone wrong, whether one is personally responsible or not, must require a head to roll. “And there is only, in this case, one head that rolls well enough.” • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/
