HOW great it is to have a piece of political news that has nothing to do with the election.
Parliament has recently passed the International Development Act. This means the UK will spend 0.7 per cent of its national income on overseas aid.
This, of course, is the right thing to do. Also, where a country is very poor and unstable, wars are more likely to occur.
This is a good example to other countries as we are the first of the G7 members to make this law. Let’s hope the others will follow.
