As the number of survivors of forced adoption dwindles with age, UK MPs from across the political spectrum are calling on the government to deliver a formal apology without delay.

This initiative acknowledges the profound suffering inflicted by past state practices and underscores the necessity of addressing these wrongs while victims are still able to be heard.
