250th anniversary of the first building society

Early day motion 1773, tabled 1 September 2025 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 7 members.

That this House notes the marking of the 250th anniversary of the first building society in the United Kingdom in 1775; further notes that the mutual sector has survived the de-mutualisation process of the 1990s and emerged as a strong sector for personal savings and mortgages; acknowledges that as banks have been closing high street branches across the nation, many building societies have retained their Branch network; and warmly endorses the concept of doubling the size of the mutual and co-operative sector in the coming years.

Signatures by party: DUP 2, Green 2, Conservative 1, Labour 1, Scottish National Party 1.
