HC Deb 29 January 1951 vol 483 c569
58. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will now make a statement on the recent visit of a British envoy to Nepal.

Mr. Ernest Davies

I would refer the hon. Member to the written answer given on 25th January to the hon. Member for Blackpool, North (Mr. Low).

Sir J. Mellor

Is the Minister satisfied that recent developments will not prejudice recruitment of Gurkha soldiers for the British Forces?

Mr. Davies

As far as we are aware we have no reason to believe that it will in any way impair the recruitment of Gurkha Forces at the present time.
