Abolish the mandatory Foreign Aid target and spend OUR money at home
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The Government currently spends 0.7% GDP on Foreign Aid. This means it will spend over £14bn of tax payers money on projects which could be better spent at home. By 2020 this figure will have risen to almost £16bn. We believe the Government should abolish the 0.7% GDP target for Foreign Aid.
Spend the money on our homeless veterans who have fought bravely for their country.
