Indeed it says that the target figure of 0.7% of GDP being spent on foreign aid will remain. What the article does say is that the aid will be spent on projects that are more focused on our national security and to our benefit, which is a return to the the priorities that used to apply to it. -- -- Colin Bignell |

As somebody here pointed out befo Harry doesn't actually read the articles he posts links to, or possibly doesn't understand them. TW |

Does that mean it's okay to spend it on arms as long as they're made in Britain and the buyer is notionally pro-West? Owain |
