Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 May 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gurkhas.
Gurkhas
It is indeed a good day for the House and for Gurkhas. The 120 Gurkhas who serve in the Mandalay company based at Derring Lines in Brecon will also be very pleased about this announcement, although their position was already safeguarded. Will the Secretary of State take on board the comments of my hon. Friend the Member for Hereford (Mr. Keetch) about extending the policy to the dependants of Gurkhas who have died but who would have qualified if they were still alive?
