Motion Text
That this House recalls the commitments made by the UK Government at the G8 in 2005 to increase aid spending and reduce poverty; is very concerned by reports that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is considering cuts to the overseas aid budget; and believes that economic downturns should not be used as an excuse to renege on aid commitments.
