Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)

Lord Davies of Brixton (Lab)

I should declare an interest: I have advised the Gurkhas on their arrangements and I am aware of the problems there. Will the pensions be commensurate with these veterans’ new situation?
Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)
My Lords, that strays into another department’s area of responsibility, but I will look into it.
