["I am concerned about the disparity in pension benefits for Gurkha veterans who enlisted and served prior to 1997. There are currently 20,681 Gurkha veterans receiving the 1948 Gurkha pension scheme, comprising of 13,289 former service personnel and 7,382 widows. The Government Actuary's Department has calculated that a private soldier with 15 years' service retiring in 1998 on the 1948 Gurkha pension scheme would receive a lifetime value of £179,000 compared to £114,000 for their British counterpart. This disparity highlights the need for parity and equal treatment."]
