Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 November 2005. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Defence in the United Kingdom.
Defence in the United Kingdom
Will the Minister pay particular attention to a detailed matter regarding our Commonwealth soldiers? The time that they spend overseas—often they are deployed overseas for the entire duration of their service—does not count towards their application for British citizenship after they have left the Army. Surely it is only right that if they serve the nation in the Army, even if they do that in Germany or the Falklands, the time spent should count towards their applications to become a British citizen.
