If the Mail can investigate and find out such things, why doesn't the Government send out investigators of it's own, to check on what our overseas aid is being spent on?

Gromit, I am not interested in the last 250 years we are in debt and debts have to be paid - whatever is paid out in overseas aid could be better spent in this country looking after our own - we are heading very rapidly into a double dip situation.
P>S The point is our contribution to overseas aid is not being spent where it should, so stop it.

AOG I would like to know how you keep a check on how overseas aid is spent, hugh vasts of monies are involved, if they send food the criminal element sells it on the black market, the despots fill their own swiss bank accounts, so I would say stop all aid, lets help ourselves recover from the state we are in.
There was a discussion recently on the radio about how unsuccessful the Overseas Aid has become. Plowing money in just keeps more people alive who need to be fed which requires more aid.
A better solution put forward was that used by China. In return for money invested in Africa it keeps the natives in homes and food on their plates. China gets in return mineral resources and adds to its wealth.
Many would call it a win - win situation.

On top of this we also contribute to the EU overseas aid budget. Why can't we just stick to this?
