We value Britain’s membership
We value Britain’s membership of the European Union, but our
horizons extend much further. A key element of British foreign
policy under a Conservative Government will be fighting world
poverty. We will support further action on debt relief and will work
to meet the
UN target of spending 0.7 per cent of national income
on overseas aid by 2013. We believe that British aid programmes
are among the best in the world, so we will negotiate to increase
British national control over our international aid spending.
