ONE responds to the Queen’s Speech

Adrian Lovett, Europe Executive Director at ONE said: “After the Coalition Government’s success in reaching the international 0.7% target for aid, this was the right time to put that commitment into law, as all parties promised to do.  David Cameron’s reputation for delivery on manifesto promises has taken a hit.  Now all eyes are on the Comprehensive Spending Review next month, when the Prime Minister must insist on maintaining the 0.7% aid level and ensuring none of it is diverted away from a focus on fighting poverty and disease.”
