Chinese New Year day off for all people that celebrate it without religion
I want the parliament to understand that Chinese New Year is comparable to Christmas for many minorities. It should be at the minimum a one day off for many people without affecting their pay or attendance as it connects people more with their culture and allows others to learn more about the day.
According to the 2021 Census , the Chinese ethnic group in England and Wales numbered 445,646 people or 0.7% of the population . These numbers show how much of an impact the change we are proposing would have on so much people as it's not a small group of people that this change would positively impact we hope that Parliament would consider giving the day off.
