Current Stage: 3rd reading
Last updated: 23/02/2009
Overview
This bill simplifies the immigration rules for Gurkhas (soldiers from Nepal who served in the British Army) seeking indefinite leave to enter or remain in the UK. It removes certain requirements they previously had to meet.
Description
The Immigration (Discharged Gurkhas) Bill amends the Immigration Rules. Specifically, it removes paragraphs (ii) and (iii) from Rule 276F (indefinite leave to enter the UK) and Rule 276I (indefinite leave to remain in the UK), both concerning requirements for Gurkhas discharged from the British Army. These removed paragraphs detailed specific criteria that Gurkhas previously needed to fulfill to be granted indefinite leave to remain or enter the UK. The bill simplifies the process by removing these additional criteria.
