Overseas Aid Budgets

EDM number 1301 in 2008-09, proposed by Pete Wishart on 20/04/2009.
Categorised under the topic of International development.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
