The Secretary of State has today announced the cessation of further funding projects to India. Once existing projects scheduled to last until 2015 have been completed there will be no further International Development to this country.
Mark Garnier said, "Over recent years I have received many emails and letters from constituents who are worried that this country is supporting India. Whilst India does have significant areas of poverty, it also has a booming economy and even its own space programme. It is right that this Country supports the parts of the world which need our help but we must make sure that this money is spent as effectively and as appropriately as possible and that is why I welcome today's announcement."
