Give England more public holidays to bring equity across the UK countries.
England and Wales have 8 public holidays a year.
Scotland have 9 public holidays a year.
Northern Ireland have 10 public holidays a year.
I want equity on public holidays. Why can't England, Wales and Scotland have additional public holidays to bring them into line with Northern Ireland?
