The Mail on Sunday quotes Caroline Boin and IPN's research on DfID in an extensive discussion of Britain's flawed foreign aid commitments.

"...research by the International Policy Network (IPN) think-tank has identified where much of DFID’s money goes in this country..."

"Caroline Boin, who co-authored the research for the IPN think-tank, said: ‘It is a travesty to add billions to the foreign aid budget in the middle of a national crisis. ‘The Government wants to sack 35,000 police officers while it pours money into a Department notorious for nonsensical projects. Millions of pounds of our “foreign aid” never even leaves the UK."
