0:24.0 | I'm Katie Balls and I'm joined by James Recipher and Isabel Hardman. |
0:38.6 | Well, the foreign aid rebels did not manage to get their way completely on Monday. In the end, did not go to a vote when it came to their amendment to try and restore the 0.7% spending target. But there's going to be an emergency debate today and we have had the speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, say that ultimately this is an issue that |
