Although I would like to see the Gurkhas allowed to settle here allowing them to do so would break the 1947 Britain-India-Nepal Tripartite Agreement. One of the main points of the agreement is that:- The Gurkha soldier must be recruited as a Nepali citizen, must serve as a Nepali citizen, and must be resettled as a Nepali citizen.
The govenment must therefore get the agreement of both the Neplolese and Indian Governments before it can allow the Gurkas to settle in Britain.

An agrement was reached in 1995 on the pay and pensions that they receive but SFAIAA this did not include resettlement rights.
