It is not a technical flaw and the figures are clear. Column 185 people. They are spending less on aid as a percentage of GNP than the previous Conservative Government. Labour spends less on aid than we did. We will work towards a target of spending 0.7 per cent.

We shall continue to champion debt relief for the poorest countries. We will be radical, but compassionate. We recognise the reality of abject poverty and we accept the role that our country can play in helping to improve living standards for those who live in the world's poorest countries. We will focus on good governance, give more support to charities and end the European Union aid scandal. Like the Government, we will work towards achieving the global targets on poverty, education, health and the environment.
