Sixteen countries including Angola, Kosovo, Bosnia and Vietnam will no longer receive aid from Britain, the Government is expected to announce.<\/p>\n

Russia, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Moldova and Serbia are among those set to be stripped of millions of pounds a year, following an inquiry ordered by International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell.<\/p>\n

The coalition wants to focus up to 30% of overseas aid to volatile states such as Afghanistan and Somalia.<\/p>\n

But ministers face criticism for merely freezing funding for India \u2013 which can afford its own space programme \u2013 at \u00a3280 million for four years.<\/p>\n

Mr Mitchell told the BBC\u2019s Politics Show at the weekend that while the country was advanced in some ways, it was a \u201cdevelopment paradox\u201d with about 450 million living on less than 50p a day.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur development programme in India is part of a wide partnership,\u201d he said. \u201cIn India there are more poor people in three states than there are in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n

World Bank and United Nations\u2019 funding is also set to be cut as part of the review.<\/p>\n

However, the total spent on aid is due to rise from \u00a37 billion to \u00a311 billion by 2015.
