Ralph Gonsalves, a former St Vincent prime minister and senior figure in the Repair Campaign, which presses for reparations, says British officials warned Andy Burnham would skip the Commonwealth summit in Antigua and Barbuda if reparations were formally listed. The Foreign Office disputes this, labelling it "completely untrue" and stating that the UK never instructed any member on what to exclude from an agenda.
