They want the UK to emulate what other European governments have done, such as the Dutch state, whose prime minister formally apologised at a ceremony and pledged millions of euros to slavery awareness projects in 2022.
A year later, when asked why he had previously stopped short of apologising during a news conference with Ghana’s then-President John Kufuor, Sir Tony said: "Well actually I have said it: We are sorry.
