This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition England/Wales get 8 bank holidays, Scotland get 9 and Northern Ireland get 10?
Award ten bank holiday's to England/Wales & Scotland just the same as Northern Ireland receive.
Equality is very important! The government should promote equality!
Then, EVERYONE in the UK should all be awarded an extra two days to celebrate and embrace Brexit and Armistice day.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Bank holidays in Scotland are the responsibility of the Scottish Parliament, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You can find out more about bank holidays in the UK here: http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN06170
You could start a new petition asking for the number of bank holidays in England and Wales to be increased to 10, if that's what you want to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
