Foreign Secretary David Lammy says reparations are not about transfer of cash.

He said the UK would instead look to develop relations with African nations through sharing skills and science.

56 Commonwealth leaders signed a statement saying the time had come for a conversation about reparations.

The UK government previously ruled out paying reparations for slavery.
