Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband says slavery reparations are not feasible, while Prime Minister Andy Burnham has floated a 'debt reset' for the poorest Commonwealth nations instead. The remarks come as UK officials weigh how to respond to mounting calls from Commonwealth leaders for reparative justice over Britain's role in the slave trade.
