The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has furiously denied that a meeting is planned to discuss slavery recovery buildings with Caribbean officials who demand trillions from Great Britain.
Members of the Repair Commission of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) are planning to travel to the UK in April, sources told the Daily Telegraph.
It reported that a meeting is planned as part of the Caricom delegation of civil servants and political leaders who will repeat the requirements for reparations.
The journey is checked by the Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley who has said that Great -Britain is £ 3.9 trillion guilty, and previously put Sir Keir Starmer under pressure during a Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit in Samoa last year.
She said earlier that the recovery from the United Nations for slavery and colonialism should be part of a new 'Global Reset'. Caricom represents 15 Member States, including Jamaica, Barbados and Granada.
But yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hit the reports and said there was no plan for a ministerial meeting and that no date had been set for a British-caricomic meeting.
A spokesperson said, “Our position remains that we do not pay reparations.”
Sources close to foreign secretary David Lammy also denied the reports.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs has previously expressed support for reparations, while he was in opposition. In 2020 he said there was a need for a 'settlement' with the colonial past of Great Britain.
The post on Sunday previously revealed that recovery of slavery would be on the table at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa in October 2024.
Campaigners have called for £ 200 billion in reparations, with some many multiples of that amount.
In the statement, the Commonwealth leaders agreed that the 'time has come' for a discussion about this, more than 200 years after the slave trade was abolished by the British parliament.

The VK fought hard to exclude direct language about repairing justice in the Communique, but the leaders of the Commonwealth said in a statement that the 'time has come' for a discussion about this.
Repatiations for slavery can include financial reparations and 'non-continuous' options such as debit lighting, an official apology and educational programs.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the reports of a coming meeting 'were false and misleading. There is no planned delegation of Caribbean leaders or officials in the spring and our position remains that we do not pay any reparations. '
They added that 'no dates have been set for a future UK-Caricom meeting'.
