00:00The victims want you to resign. Will you resign?
00:04I've been giving that a lot of thought, for actually quite a long time.
00:09There's nothing over the last ten years that has been as horrible as dealing with not just this one,
00:16but innumerable other abuse cases, as you will see from the ICSA inquiry, and other things.
00:24I've given it a lot of thought, I've taken advice, as recently as this morning, from senior colleagues,
00:32and no, I'm not going to resign for this.
00:35If I'd known before 2013, or had grounds for suspicion, that would be a resigning matter then and now, but I didn't.
00:45But you considered it as recently as this morning?
00:47Yes.
00:49Justin Welby, thanks very much.
