Cut The Amount Of Foreign Aid The UK Gives And ADD That £6 BILLION to NHS Budget
In 2015 the UK spent £12.1 Billion on foreign aid.
The UK Foreign Aid Spend is 0.7 percent of national income.
We have an NHS who desperately needs the money. I propose we HALF the foreign aid budget and give the £6 Billion to the NHS. As a tax payer I do not mind paying towards aid, but not 0.7%
In 2015 UK Spends £12 Billion on foreign aid. 0.7 percent of national income.
According to OECD In 2015, the UK was the 2nd largest contributor of Foreign aid, spending $18.7B USD Vs the US who spent $31.08B USD.
Our NHS Needs this money
