Require British Gurkha pensions to only be paid in British pounds sterling
We want the Government to pay British Gurkha pensions in British pounds only wherever we are. At the moment, it is paid in NCR if you are in Nepal. Once its in Nepal’s currency, many Gurkhas may find it difficult to use their pension outside of Nepal even if they live in the UK.
