Categorised under the topic of Small businesses.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
