Foreign Aid: Dominic Raab accused of sneaking out draconian cuts

Dominic Raab accused of ‘sneaking out draconian cuts’ to foreign aid Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has been accused of “sneaking out draconian cuts” to the foreign aid budget. Conservative former international development secretary Andrew Mitchell criticised the Cabinet minister for having “slipped out” details of reduced spending in a statement late on Wednesday. Mr Raab set out how £8.11 billion of the aid budget will be allocated by the Foreign Office – approximately 80% of the total UK spend – including £906 million for humanitarian preparedness and response. Work involving that money will focus on countries most affected by risk of famine, including Yemen, Syria, Somalia and South Sudan.
