SO, Marc Denton (letters 2 June) advocates that all the parliamentary candidates should be quizzed regarding foreign aid.

This country squanders billions of unaudited amounts on foreign aid already at the expense of its people who have to endure cuts in public funding, cuts to the NHS and we have to suffer to enable these amounts to be paid.

This begs the question — what are the governments of these countries doing about their problems? Nothing!

They know full well that the gullible UK will give them whatever they ask for without question.

Charity begins at home.

Let’s get our own house in order first.
