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.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
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.
