The incoming Archbishop of Canterbury has been urged to scrap plans to spend £100m over the Church of England’s historical links to slavery.
In a letter seen by the Sunday Times, a group of Conservative MPs and peers has urged Dame Sarah Mullally to stop the Church from spending the money.
They claim the funds can only legally be spent on churches and the payment of clergy wages.
In a statement, the Church Commissioners said that arrangements for the fund were being “developed transparently – in line with charity law”.
