UK to stop Indian aid

The UK is planning to phase out aid to India. They currently give around £200 million a year, but this will stop by 2015. Even though India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, it still has millions living in poverty. A recent review though decided that the UK's assistance should now focus more on a technical support side.
