  • Description: MPs have commended the UK government for donating money to countries emerging from years of conflict but have warned that ministers must reduce the cost of delivering aid programmes. MPs on the select committee on international development stated in a report that they support the UK government's decision to increase the amount of money it spends in fragile states, from £1.8bn (€2.2bn; $2.8bn) in 2010-11 to £3.4bn in 2014-15. Max Lawson, head of public policy and advocacy at the charity Oxfam, said that MPs were right to raise the need to improve transparency and accountability of government aid.
