Re: Gurkha veterans seek equal rights
All gurkha's now have the right to stay in this country. The Government had to be forced into this but at least they have finally allowed this to happen.
I still feel there is no honour in a Bunch of Mp's that had to be forced to change there minds

All Gurkha veterans who retired before 1997 with at least four years service will be allowed to settle in the UK, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has said.
Ms Smith told MPs she was "proud to offer this country's welcome to all who have served in the brigade of Gurkhas".
Her announcement follows a high-profile campaign by supporters of Gurkha rights and an embarrassing Commons defeat for the Government.
Some 36,000 Gurkhas who left before 1997 have been denied UK residency.
