Britain's drastically diminished aid budget is the "new normal," the development minister, Jenny Chapman, has said, as she claimed Labour's approach would help repair voters' faith in overseas aid.

Lady Chapman took up her post in February, after Anneliese Dodds resigned in protest at Keir Starmer's decision to slash overseas aid spending to 0.3% of gross national income from 0.5%, to pay for increased defence spending.

Chapman said as she and her team go through the aid budget line by line, seeking deep cuts, they were not treating the belt-tightening as temporary.
