Cooperative Movement

EDM number 682 in 1996-97, proposed by Ian Davidson on 18/03/1997.

That this House deplores the attempt by asset-strippers, hiding behind brass plates in Monte Carlo, the West Indies and the Channel Islands, to seize the assets of the Co-operative Movement which for more than a century has served the best interests of Britain's consumers; and urges the Department of Trade and Industry, the Bank of England and the London Stock Exchange to halt this charade before another financial scandal in the City emerges.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
