The Select Committee on International Development wants to tinker with the overseas aid the government gives away. Aid given by the UK to countries with a history of fraud and corruption should be "conditional" on them improving their governance.
Not good enough.
Overseas aid shores up inefficient governments, which can then survive without reforming their countries.
In the spirit of the "great society", let individuals make their own decisions about what overseas aid they will send, and where.
Abolish overseas aid tax! We haven't got the money anyway.
