Wedding bank holiday backed
THE Prime Minister voiced his support for the prospect of an extra bank holiday to mark the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton next year, saying it was a "very good idea" if the ceremony was held on a weekday – but still a "great temptation" if it took place on a weekend.
Mr Cameron told the Commons Liaison Committee: "There is a debate I think we ought to have – obviously not knowing what the date is yet – but whether there ought to be a bank holiday.
"I think if it's in the middle of the week it would be a very good idea to have a bank holiday. And even if it's at the weekend – this is entirely a decision for the Royal Family – I think there would be a great temptation to have a bank holiday."
