New Indian Nuclear Submarines
Abram,
No European aid to India? Oh I most strongly disagree sir!
UK overseas aid alone to India was £98 milion in 1998 and has continued at an average rate of £134 million per year to date with an additional £250 million agreed earlier this year for a new 5 year programme.
Some specific Indian projects funded by the UK at Indian Government request on top of the above totals include;
Calcutta slum improvement programme of £13m
Vijayawada Slum improvement programme of £17m
Andhra Pradesh School health programme of £6m
Eastern India rainfed farming project of £8m
Gomti river control pollution project of £4m
West Bengal food aid project of £12m
All this is direct UK Government aid expenditure and does not include the myriad of UK charity and aid organisations all active in the country.
The UK pales into insignificance behind the Scandinavian countries when it comes to overseas aid in general and India in particular.
I hope you enjoy your new shiny weapons, oh, and I hope you can sleep at nights!
