Police investigation into actions of former Archbishop of York

POLICE are considering an investigation into the former Archbishop of York. Lord David Hope resigned from his position as an honorary assistant bishop in 2014 after a report into allegations of child abuse by a former cathedral dean found "systemic failures" by the Church of England.
The report said Lord Hope failed to follow policy and take advice after he was told of complaints against Robert Waddington relating to boys in Manchester and Australia, between 1984 and 1993.
