answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2024 answer text <p>We recognise the importance of celebrating the respective saints’ days across the UK. While an additional bank holiday may benefit some communities and sectors, the cost to the economy of an additional bank holiday remains considerable. The latest analysis estimates the cost to the UK economy for a one-off bank holiday to be around £2bn. The Government fully considers the effects of any additional bank holidays, which is why we rarely create them.</p><p>The Government has no plans to change the well-established and accepted arrangements for bank holidays.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 01/05/2024 15:11:57 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
