<p>Sixteen countries including Angola, Kosovo, Bosnia and Vietnam will no longer receive aid from Britain, the Government is expected to announce.</p>
<p>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>
<p>The coalition wants to focus up to 30% of overseas aid to volatile states such as Afghanistan and Somalia.</p>
<p>But ministers face criticism for merely freezing funding for India &#8211; which can afford its own space programme &#8211; at £280 million for four years.</p>
<p>Mr Mitchell told the BBC&#8217;s Politics Show at the weekend that while the country was advanced in some ways, it was a &#8220;development paradox&#8221; with about 450 million living on less than 50p a day.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our development programme in India is part of a wide partnership,&#8221; he said. &#8220;In India there are more poor people in three states than there are in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.&#8221;</p>
<p>World Bank and United Nations&#8217; funding is also set to be cut as part of the review.</p>
<p>However, the total spent on aid is due to rise from £7 billion to £11 billion by 2015.</p>
