Archbishop of Canterbury urged to scrap £100million slavery reparations plan
27 MPs and peers urge incoming Archbishop Sarah Mullally to abandon Church of England's slavery reparations initiative.
A coalition of 27 MPs and peers has written to Dame Sarah Mullally, the incoming Archbishop of Canterbury, urging her to scrap the Church of England's £100 million slavery reparations plan. The letter, reported by GB News on December 28, 2025, includes signatures from prominent Conservative figures such as Chris Philp, Claire Coutinho, and Neil O'Brien. The initiative, which aims to address the Church's historical links to transatlantic slavery, has faced criticism from the signatories who argue it is unnecessary and divisive. Mullally is set to become Archbishop of Canterbury next month, succeeding Justin Welby. The reparations plan was established to fund projects addressing the legacy of slavery, but critics claim it misallocates resources and could harm community relations.
