A 2017 Channel 4 News investigation first exposed the abuse by John Smythe, described as the Church’s ‘most prolific abuser.’
Lord George Carey told Channel 4 News he has "no recollection" of John Smyth, and that he gave evidence to the Makin review which has "been ignored".
A warning – there are distressing details in this interview.
