Closed petition Introduce additional bank holiday payments for state pensions

People in receipt of the state pension and who are no longer working receive no benefit for a bank holiday, unlike many employees. We want the Government to provide an extra day's payment to state pensions for each bank holiday, so that pensioners benefit from these public holidays.
