remain in the UK and for any veteran who completes 12 years of service being
automatically given British Citizenship. Further,
Council request that the Leader of the Council write to the MP for Aldershot
Constituency to ask that he press the Government for a change in the
legislation on visas and citizenship that affects Commonwealth and Gurkha
veterans who have served Her Majesty The Queen and this country
diligently and honourably.” (2) Devereux House To consider the following Notice of Motion which has been submitted by Cllr C.J. Stewart pursuant to Standing Order 9 (1): “This Council notes the
sad closure of Devereux House (formerly the Farnborough and Cove War Memorial

volunteers in the service to our Borough over the past 100 years. In addition, this
Council notes its longstanding support for the Trust, as well as the generosity
of volunteers, local charitable organisations, and the wider community over
many years. This Council affirms
