Proceeding contribution from Parmjit Dhanda (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 April 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Gurkha Settlement Rights.
Gurkha Settlement Rights
On a point of clarification: my grandfather, in his beard and turban, fought in the Indian army's Bengal Engineers but he also fought for King and country in Burma, so would he have fallen under the proposed rules? He passed away a few years ago, but many of his colleagues are still around. Would they be entitled to come and live in this country?
