Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Nick Harvey (Liberal Democrat), on Friday, 14 March 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 103 members in total.
INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN FOR GURKHAS
That this House believes that Gurkhas who serve and have served in the British Army are a credit to the nation and deserve the highest recognition for their bravery and commitment; notes however that Gurkhas who were discharged before 1997 have no right of leave to remain in the United Kingdom or to become naturalised British citizens; and calls upon the Government to revise immigration rules immediately to allow all Gurkhas who have served at least four years in the British Army to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK and naturalisation as British citizen irrespective of their retirement date.
