Golden Casket's 50th Anniversary

EDM number 417 in 2009-10, proposed by David Cairns on 09/12/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Companies and Manufacturing industries.

That this House congratulates the largest confectionary company in Scotland, Inverclyde's Golden Casket on its 50th anniversary; applauds its chairman and founder, Douglas Rae, for his decades of service to Scottish business and sport; acknowledges that the company's acquisition of Greenock Morton rescued the club from ruin and guaranteed the continuation of the town's historic football tradition; welcomes the fact that Golden Casket continues to be a major employer with over 200 people currently working for the company; and commends Golden Casket for its commitment to making Fairtrade products and its use of Fairtrade sugar, which guarantees a fair deal to farmers in the developing world.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
