It would appear that the following were the top 20 recipients of UK aid in 2013:

Pakistan, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, Afghanistan, DROC, Kenya, Tanzania, Syria, South Sudan, Malawi, Somalia, Ghana, Rwanda, Myanmar,Yemen, Zimbabwe, Nepal and St Helena. They collectively accounted for ~70% of the aid budget

India got £269M and dropped to fourth biggest recipient having been the largest UK aid recipient in 2009 and 2012, years for which figures are given. I'm curious to know where in Europe accounts for the ~1% of the aid budget.

I'm even more curious to know why we gave China £75M in aid in 2009 when its GDP appears to have been close to $5 Trillion whilst the UK's was nearer to $2.3 Trillion
