ARGYLL ARCADE

Early day motion 1605, tabled 8 June 2009 by Mohammad Sarwar (Labour). Signed by 25 members.

That this House condemns the recent attempts by a single individual to claim sole and exclusive rights to the name Argyle Arcade and to profit at the expense of other traders in that shopping mall in Glasgow; recognises that the Argyle Arcade, built in the Victorian era, is Scotland's oldest indoor shopping mall and has supplied, in particular, items of fine jewellery, to several generations of Glaswegians; and further recognises that the owners and traders therein have provided a popular service for over one hundred years often by longstanding, family run firms.

Signatures by party: Labour 19, Liberal Democrat 2, Scottish National Party 2, DUP 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
