PUBLIC HOLIDAYS IN THE UK

That this House notes the increased level of debate about Britishness, national identity and community cohesion; further notes that St Andrew's Day is now a public holiday in Scotland and St Patrick's Day is a public holiday in Northern Ireland; and believes that St George's Day and St David's Day should also be public holidays for England and Wales respectively, and that one day a year should be set aside to celebrate the huge benefit of the United Kingdom.
