The issue of how much we spend on overseas aid is an important and contentious one. However, we should not kid ourselves that were such aid to be reduced, Defence would be the beneficiary.

Looking at the pressures he is under at the moment, if David Cameron did decided to divert $6Bn from the aid budget into other Departments, do you really think he would choose the money pit that is Defence?
