The prime minister is planning a debt reset for Commonwealth nations as discussions begin over whether the UK should issue a formal apology for the slave trade next year.
The proposed debt measure and the apology discussions are linked in the timing of the announcement. The plans would affect Commonwealth countries, although no further details about the proposed reset have been provided.
Talks are now beginning on the possibility of a formal apology from the UK. The source material does not specify who is involved in the discussions, where they are taking place or what form any apology might take.
No final decision on an apology has been announced. The next stage will be the talks about whether the UK should issue one during the following year, while further details of the proposed debt reset remain outstanding.
