Indefinite Leave To Remain For Gurkhas (EDM1194)

Indefinite Leave To Remain For Gurkhas

EDM number 1194 in 2007-08, proposed by Nick Harvey on 14/03/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Armed forces and Immigration.

That this House believes that Gurkhas who serve and have served in the British Army are a credit to the nation and deserve the highest recognition for their bravery and commitment; notes however that Gurkhas who were discharged before 1997 have no right of leave to remain in the United Kingdom or to become naturalised British citizens; and calls upon the Government to revise immigration rules immediately to allow all Gurkhas who have served at least four years in the British Army to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK and naturalisation as British citizen irrespective of their retirement date.

This motion has been signed by a total of 104 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
