A strong voice for Eltham and Plumstead

Clive calls for a debate on Gurkhas immigration status

Clive Efford (Eltham, Labour)
I welcome the Government's concessions to the Gurkhas yesterday, but when they are published can we have a debate in the House? I sincerely hope that they will put the mistakes of last Friday behind us, because we will then be able to focus on the sheer naked opportunism of the Leader of the Opposition, whose party did nothing for the Gurkhas during 18 years of government.

Harriet Harman (Lord Privy Seal, House of Commons; Camberwell & Peckham, Labour)


My hon. Friend is absolutely right. We will respond to the views of the House, and the House will be kept informed.
