OVERSEAS AID BUDGETS

Tabled by Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) 29 signatures

The motion

That this House recalls the commitments made by the UK Government at the G8 in 2005 to increase aid spending and reduce poverty; is very concerned by reports that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is considering cuts to the overseas aid budget; and believes that economic downturns should not be used as an excuse to renege on aid commitments.
