That this House notes the continuing problems associated with the Presbyterian Mutual Society since entering administration in November 2008; acknowledges the extreme difficulties which are being faced by many of the approximately 9,000 savers with the Society; further recognises the hard work put into assisting the Society by devolved Ministers, without whose help a difficult situation would have become unresolvable; expresses the hope that discussions held between the First Minister in Northern Ireland and the Prime Minister will also help, and following the adjournment motion in Westminster Hall scheduled for debate on 24 March 2010; expresses the hope that there will be significant Government offers of further help to finally and satisfactorily resolve this ongoing saga that has caused so much financial hardship to those affected.
