Proceeding contribution from Keir Starmer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 July 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Historical Forced Adoption.
Historical Forced Adoption
I thank my hon. Friend for all her work in this area and for her powerful intervention and question. She is absolutely right about not just the initial injustice, but all the hoops, burdens and barriers that were then put in place; at almost every twist and turn, of every road, fresh barriers were put in place. That is why this absolutely must be the beginning of survivor-led support, and we mark it in that way.
