DUNFERMLINE BUILDING SOCIETY

Motion Text

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.
