25th ANNIVERSARY OF DUMBARTON CREDIT UNION

That this House applauds the work of credit unions across the UK in promoting, providing and offering a safe and regulated local environment to save and a low cost way to borrow; recognises the intrinsic community nature of credit unions in reducing the demand for high interest loans and doorstep lenders; acknowledges the excellent service provided by the staff and volunteers of Dumbarton Credit Union as they celebrate 25 years of service to the communities of Dumbarton, through the provision of community financial services to all adults over the age of 16 in Dumbarton; and calls on the Government to continue to promote and support the development of credit unions across the UK.
