UK government must urgently apologise for forced adoption, MPs say

Ministers urged to work with survivor groups on formal apology as many victims are nearing end of their lives

The UK government must urgently issue a formal apology for the state's role in forced adoption as many victims are nearing the end of their lives, a cross-party group of MPs has said.

A report from the education select committee said ministers should provide an initial commitment to an apology and begin working with survivor groups as quickly as possible on its wording.
