David Cameron yesterday named the massive increase in Britain’s foreign aid budget as his ‘proudest achievement’ in Government.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics reveal that Britain exceeded Mr Cameron’s controversial foreign aid target for the first time last year, giving away £11.4billion.
Many Tories have criticised the ‘arbitrary’ UN-backed target of spending 0.7 per cent of national income on aid, particularly at a time of austerity at home.
Critics also say much of the money is squandered without helping those in greatest need.
But when asked what his proudest achievement in office had been, during a question and answer session in Berkshire yesterday, Mr Cameron said: ‘I am proud of the fact that we have taken 0.7 of this year’s GDP and given it to the poorest countries in the world.
‘I think there are lots of countries, and lots of politicians as well, I could probably name them, who would have broken that promise.
‘I don’t think you break your promise to the poorest people in the poorest countries in the world.’
The aid budget rocketed by 30.5 per cent last year – an extra £2.6billion – with the amount spent representing 0.72 per cent of the UK’s income.
