DUNFERMLINE BUILDING SOCIETY

Early day motion 1153, tabled 23 March 2009 by Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 27 members.

That this House notes reports about the future of Dunfermline Building Society, possible losses and its exposure to the commercial property market; further notes that the Dunfermline has for 130 years been a solid and trusted mutual and is now Scotland's largest building society; expresses concern that building societies are being penalised by the increased capital requirement and funding formula for the Financial Services Compensation Scheme; and calls on the Government to do everything within its power to keep the Dunfermline as a strong independent Scottish mutual.
