Building Society Practices (EDM667)

Building Society Practices

EDM number 667 in 1993-94, proposed by Nigel Griffiths on 23/02/1994.

That this House notes with concern the failure of building societies to ensure that cheques they receive are cleared as quickly as possible; regrets that it takes up to ten days for building societies to process and clear cheques during which time they are able to earn money from customers' accounts which is not passed directly to customers; and calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to hold an inquiry into the practice of building societies to delay processing cheques, which inflate building society profits and put shareholder interests before service to customers, and to take appropriate action.

This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
