This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Overhaul the UK's foreign aid commitments as administered through DfID.
The UK's target is to spend 0.7 per cent of national income on aid. Consequently, colossal sums are blithely given away for which there is no accountability or proper management - some £12 BILLION is available.
The system is broke - we must accept the blame if we do nothing to fix it.
