PM: Government was 'right' to give £3m to Kids Company

David Cameron has defended the decision to give a £3 million Government grant to Kids Company against the advice of civil servants, insisting it was the "right thing to do" to give the charity "one last chance".

He said: "I think the Government was right to say let's have one last go at trying to keep this charity going given the excellent work it has done for so many young people."

"I'm sad that this charity that has done brilliant work with young children has come to an end," he added. "The most important thing now is that we look after the young children that Kids Company was helping."
