Barbados 'pauses' acquisition of former slavery plantation owned by Tory MP
Barbados will halt the acquisition of a former slavery plantation belonging to a British Conservative MP after locals said he should transfer land ownership to the state as a "reparations gesture" for historical wrongs.

They were forcibly put to work in sugar plantations, earning fortunes for English owners such as the Drax family.
