What the petition asks
We call upon the Government to permanently abolish the mandatory Foreign Aid target and not just during the Covid19 crisis.
Three years ago, the Daily Express ran a campaign to stop Foreign Aid. So far the Government has cut the aid budget from 0.7% GDP to 0.5% GDP. We believe this does not go far enough. With homeless veterans sleeping rough on our streets, we need to prioritise the nation's finances. Aid should only be used for natural disasters.
It is time to permanently abolish the mandatory Foreign Aid target and spend our money at home.
