Labour and the Archbishop of Canterbury have intensified calls for the Government to reverse its move to slash foreign aid, saying a report that a group of philanthropists will help plug the gap underlines the harm caused by the decision. The Sunday Times says philanthropists including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will on Sunday pledge more than £100 million to a one-year plan to partially replace the cuts in the UK’s aid budget, with the funding to target projects tackling preventable diseases and family planning. The Government has announced a reduction in foreign aid from 0.7% of national income – which is enshrined in law – to 0.5%, a change equating to a £4 billion decrease.
