Middlemore Home, St Luke's Rd, 2001 official apology made Feb.24th/2010 Prime Minister Gordon Brown has delivered the long awaited apology to our British Home Children in Canada, and to all British Child Migrants abroad. "To all those former Child migrants and their families, to those here with us today and those across the world, to each and every one I say we are truly sorry. They were let down" "We are sorry that they were allowed to be sent away at the time they were most vunerable. We are sorry that instead of caring for them this country turned it's back. And we are sorry that it has taken so long for this important day to come and for the full and unconditional apology that is justly deserved" .........................................................................................
