Should the government increase or decrease foreign aid spending?

Increase for very poor countries including those poor countries suffering natural disasters. Monitor situations carefully-e.g., why give to India which, overall, is rich enough to have advanced technological projects in some areas?

Increase, but only for Commonwealth countries

Stop it all together for countries with a nuclear & or space program, & those that harbor & or promote terrorism.

Aid should be humanitarian in nature and in the form of goods delivered direct to those who need it, not cash to corrupt governments and agencies who redirect it for their own purposes.

Government need to sort out poverty in the uk

We should not be giving aid to countries like India and China, who are already superpowers with space programs.

Increase, but also reform the system so that it actually gets to those in need and not into the bank accounts of corrupt governments.

Increase, but the money should be spent aiding the public in foreign countries as opposed to the military, and I do also believe that the government should also take firmer stances on human rights violations.

We should use aid to get countries on side and influence their policies, for example cut aid to Uganda until they repeal the death penalty for gay people

END IT

Unless you're getting something in return too many nations take advantage of aid and it's now become a way to launder money

gov takes out fed loan gives money to other nation who gives it back to shell companies owned by the very gov that took the loan out.

who fits the tab?

Decrease, and stop giving aid to countries that spend their own money on frivolous endeavours, such as space programs.

Although we should priorities our national spending and economic climate, we should give foreign aid based on a case-by-case basis

Increase the spending but actually make sure it is helping that country be rebuilt to reduce immigration here

Decrease and only give to countries that need it. ie not india that sent a rocket to the moon, when can afford to do that ourselves.

Decrease, unless we are directly involved. And deny aid to countries that violate human rights or promote terrorism

Decrease drastically until we have reduced and improved our National budget deficit and once that is complete do not provide aid to countries which promote or facilitate terrorism

Has there been any analysis into what would happen if we stopped, or if all the more advanced countries stopped collectively? And everyone look after their own. With emergency aid due to natural disaster like floods, earthquakes tsunami, fires, still being supported

Increase, but only when the cost of living crisis has been neutralised. Additionally, the UK shouldn’t provide any supplies to countries openly against British Values except for humanitarian efforts/civilian aid

Maintain current levels until we drastically reduce our deficit, but deliver aid directly wherever there is any risk of funds being used for other things.

Any change to foreign aid should be on redistribution of the wealth this country stole within colonialism

Give what is needed directly to the organisations that are in need. Human rights violations are government driven, not people driven.

Neither increase nor decrease however there should not be funds sent to countries that have human rights violations.

Increase for countries going through humanitarian crises and decrease for foreign military spending.

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending, however funds should only be directed to countries with legitimate need

Decrease and redistribute the funds into our own social programs to ensure the welfare of our own people.

Yes, if the aid goes directly to the people not the governments, with some nations this is difficult to do.

Increase, for actual worthwhile causes, such as support for Palestine and within scope of national budgets where money could actually go to domestic causes.

Not exactly sure on the full extent of positive and negative but to me it seems the UK has a lot of issues that need fixing itself, the severity being in my opinion quite high

I do think the rich should give more money, but it should be their responsibility, not the government's. Give what you can, not what is required.

Stop aid to China & India - & comparable places. Stop forcing recipients to spend it on our products, That's not aid, it's a subsidy to our industries.

Maintain current level, use the budget to support illegal migrants and tailor the aid to serve UK National interests.

Maintain the current level but reduce or deny aid to countries where terrorism is promoted or can afford a space programme

Increase, but we should allocate more funding for countries that have no human rights violations and not deny, but place sanctions on officials in countries that harbour or promote terrorism.

Decrease to 0.5 of GDP and deny aid to countries that promote terrorism or are non democratically governed like Afghanistan a state run by militant jihads

Decrease many countries like India ,who we spend taxpayer money on, divert our aid funding into sending rockets into space

Decrease, and refocus remaining foreign aid to projects with better return on investment

Decrease foreign aid is a waste of money especially to autocratic regimes

Decrease and don’t give to countries that have their own space program

Too nuanced to answer in a simple question

Support private foreign aid initiatives that go directly to helping people and promoting democratic and liberal values, rather than giving money to corrupt, authoritarian and self serving regimes.

Increase but make sure not to corrupt governments and make sure it’s on the ground

Increase, once the defeceit is reduced

Keep same amount, but only for countries in NATO or other close allies, countries in British Commonwealth, and also in cases where it is of benefit to the UK to help or in events of natural disaster. We should not give aid to countries that harbor terrorists in any event.

The amount is about the spending in new Zealand is it's decreased and use offen and big deals is the value for budget

Same, but deny aid to countries that harbour and promote terrorism

Abolish it: "foreign aid" is a euphemism for "bribe money".

Keep it at it’s current rate, and not give any aid to governments with human rights violations.

Spending should be reduced temporarily to help the NHS and cost of living crisis

Keep it the same overall, but reduce spending for countries which pose a risk to national security.
