Survivors of historical forced adoption are set to receive a state apology they have spent decades campaigning for when the prime minister says sorry in parliament.
Sir Keir Starmer is expected to stand in the Commons and acknowledge the harm caused when an estimated 185,000 babies of unmarried mothers were adopted in England and Wales between 1949 and 1976.
His formal apology will come after he meets with campaigners in Downing Street on Thursday morning.
