Labour MPs urge Keir Starmer to clarify stance on non-cash slavery reparations

No 10 says issue is off the table for Commonwealth summit but other nations are prepared to defy UK

Labour MPs have urged Keir Starmer to clarify his government’s position on non-cash reparations for Britain’s historical role in the slave trade, as No 10 says the issue is off the table.

In the run-up to the Commonwealth heads of government meeting (Chogm), the government said it would not be issuing an official state apology.
