Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 May 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gurkhas.
Gurkhas
I believe it is right that we have had the policy, which I have just outlined, for Commonwealth soldiers who served with the British army. For a long time that has meant that those who served for four years and applied within two years of the end of their service were able to get settlement in the UK, but that was not the situation for pre-1997 Gurkhas.
