My question is, if the MoD can work with charities, to provide this facility for British (i.e. English, Welsh, Scottish and from Northern Ireland) ex-servicemen and women who are homeless.
Then why could not the MoD have worked with military and civilian charities and Gurkha welfare groups, to provide a national ex-Gurkha's and families welfare centre and hostel in the UK, where ex-Gurkha's and their families either leaving the British Army, let alone ex-Gurkha's come over from Nepal now, to claim their British Citizenship, had somewhere to stay and live, while accessing national and local government services, to live and work in the UK.
Instead military charities and the news media are having to express growing concern's, over ex-Gurkha soldier's, having no money, no place to live, no support and going without food and living on the streets.
Will all Government Minister's taking part in these question's and answer's, agreed to look into working with military welfare rights people like myself, military and civilian charities.
To set up not just a National ex-Gurkha's and Families Welfare Centre and Hostel in the UK.
But equally a National ex-British Armed Forces Commonwealth personnel and Families Welfare Centre and Hostel in the UK too.
For both ex-Gurkha's and ex-Commonwealth personnel who have served in the British Armed Forces and now are wishing to take up their rights and families rights to British Citizenship, to help them obtain assistance to accessing national and local government services, to live and work in the UK, access military and civilian benefits, NHS services, find housing and employment plus education for their children etc.
