Queen's speech drops 0.7% - our reaction

"We are really disappointed that the governments commitment to enshrine the 0.7% in law was dropped from the queens speech today.

Our government's done the hard bit by showing leadership and committing to a budget that delivers on life-saving aid.

The cross-party consensus in support of aid goes beyond politics and shows the UK leading the way in fighting poverty worldwide.

Anything that undermines this is a threat to the lives of millions of children facing hardship that few of us could imagine." David Thomson, Director of Policy, World Vision UK
