All-Party Parliamentary Group for Afrikan Reparations (APPG-AR) said it should become an offence to sell ancestral remains or publicly display them without consent.

Law should be changed to allow national museums to remove, or “deaccession”, remains in their permanent collections.

MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy said the report’s recommendations would help address the racial injustice wrought by colonial trade in human remains.
