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 have learned the lesson that, even when we comply with court rulings, that does not always satisfy campaigns. I have learned that we therefore need to be able to work across Government to ensure that we do the right thing. I think I have probably also learned the lesson that it is easier for those in opposition than it is for those in government to deliver change.
