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.

We ask the UK Government to pay the British Gurkha pension in the UK currency only, and not in the Indian or Nepalese currency, as we are British soldiers and many of us are citizens, not Indian or Nepalese soldiers and citizens.
