Proceeding contribution from Nia Griffith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 May 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gurkhas.
Gurkhas
I thank both the Home Secretary and the Minister for Borders and Immigration for being so prompt in responding to my request to re-examine the 20-year service requirement; reassurance was given only four weeks ago, and we have today heard the announcement that it is going down to four years. Will my right hon. Friend talk to the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills to ensure that young Gurkhas living in families here who are doing well at school will not be subject to overseas fees when they go on to university?
