Mark Suzman’s Statement on UK Decision to Cut Foreign Aid

The British public have always shown their compassion and support for the world’s poorest people, especially in times of crisis. The cuts that have been announced are deeply regrettable and will harm the most vulnerable people around the world. The Gates Foundation and successive UK Governments have worked together for over twenty years to ensure our joint funding saves as many lives as possible. It is now more important than ever that the aid budget that remains goes to the people that need it most.
