Defence Secretary Ben Wallace says he’s “happy to meet any Gurkha”, as a protest over pensions continues outside Whitehall

Mayor of Hounslow and former Gurkha Dhan Gurung is on the seventh day of his hunger strike outside Downing Street.

Feltham and Heston MP Seema Malhotra has written to the PM, asking him to arrange a meeting with the protesters urgently.

The Ministry of Defence says they “greatly value” the Gurkhas, and they’re “committed” to a “sustainable and fair” pension for them.
