Britain is ready to increase financial aid to the Commonwealth of Nations British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is ready to consider increasing financial aid to the Commonwealth of Nations due to the country's role in the slave trade, The Telegraph reports. In late October, Burnham said he would not rule out an apology for Britain's role in the slave trade. The occasion was Charles III's visit to the Caribbean, where politicians called on the king to apologise. According to the publication, the Prime Minister intends to examine requests for investments in health and education from African and Caribbean countries, and this week he will propose to open a dialogue on financing. The agreement can include taxpayer-funded projects or private investments. In March, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning the slave trade; Britain, France and Germany abstained.
