UK aid cuts are a “tragic error” that put Britain’s national security at risk, MPs have said. With the government also failing to take into account improvements to poor people’s lives when deciding if foreign aid spending is good value for money.
In a new report, the International Development Committee (IDC) has raised concerns that slashing the development budget will "continue to lead to unrest and further crises in the future" and will have "devastating consequences" across the world. The cuts will threaten not only the UK's soft power "but also its national security".
