    David Cameron faces demands for slavery reparation on Jamaica visit

    Prime Minister David Cameron is facing calls to apologise and pay financial reparation for Britain's role in the historic slave trade in the Caribbean. The demands from campaigners have threatened to overshadow the PM's visit to the island, where he was announcing £25m in British aid for a new Jamaican prison.

    The country's PM Portia Simpson-Miller said she had raised the issue in talks. Mr Cameron ruled out paying reparation, saying it was "not the right approach". He said his visit - the first by a British prime minister in 14 years - was to "reinvigorate" ties between the countries, and he wanted to concentrate on future relations not centuries-old issues. Ms Simpson-Miller said while she was "aware of the obvious sensitivities", Jamaica was "involved in a process under the auspices of the Caribbean Community to engage the UK on the matter".
