Rejected petition Continue to give foreign aid, but check that it goes to helping people in need.

Giving foreign aid is the right thing to do. Tackling global inequality, climate change, and historic colonialism all demand that the UK helps out where we can. It also makes sense for the National Interest because early intervention can prevent bigger global problems in the future.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

UK aid spending is already subject to checks and scrutiny. You could start a new petition calling for any additional checks that you would like to see.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
