Background
We request the UK Parliament to declare St. George's day as an official bank holiday in England by 2026, similar to what the Scottish Parliament did in 2006 for St. Andrew's Day.
Despite numerous discussions among government officials, there has been little movement in formally honouring St. George's Day to date although there is a popular opinion from the general public.
