Britain's £12bn Overseas Aid Programme

[Bill Macgillivray]

There are some countries that need aid, this I must agree. I have no wish to even think about which ones they are as that is the task of our elected leaders (who know about these things !). What I do know, however, is that once the aid arrives in-country (most, not all) it has a habit of diminishing or vanishing before it reaches the people/places most needed or intended ! How our "leaders" can justify this increase is beyond me ! Why can we not have some logical/common-sense from Whitehall?
