HC Deb 20 March 1968 vol 761 c91W
Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether war disability pensions paid to former members of the Brigade Gurkhas resident in Nepal have been increased since the devaluation of sterling.

Mr. Boyden

No. Gurkha pensioners including those receiving war disability pensions, have not suffered as a result of devaluation. Their pensions are not expressed in sterling and they will receive the same number of Nepalese rupees as they did before.
