Business question from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Friend the opportunity to try to persuade me—in vain, I suspect—that a time when we are cutting domestic budgets is precisely the right time massively to increase our overseas aid budget.
