The Halifax Headquarters

EDM number 619 in 2000-01, proposed by Alice Mahon on 30/04/2001.

That this House believes that the Halifax, Yorkshire's biggest financial company, must keep its headquarters in Halifax, the town whose name it takes; does not accept that all major financial centres in the UK should be located only in capital cities; notes that Leeds is a growing centre of financial excellence; and that if the headquarters are moved to Edinburgh this would be a major blow to the Yorkshire Region as a place in which to invest and locate.

This motion has been signed by a total of 93 MPs.
