Archbishop of Canterbury among leading figures joining two-year study by left-leaning Institute for Public Policy Research

The archbishop of Canterbury will spend the next two years as part of a commission launched by a left-leaning thinktank that aims to rewrite the rules for Britain's post-Brexit economy.

Justin Welby will join other leading figures including the general secretary of the TUC, Frances O'Grady, and the chairman of the John Lewis Partnership, Sir Charlie Mayfield, on the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) programme that will seek remedies for six key UK weaknesses.
