ST DAVID'S DAY

EDM number 685 in 1994-95, proposed by Paul Flynn on 28/02/1995.

That this House calls for St. David's Day to be declared a bank holiday in Wales; notes that no other country in the British Isles or the European Union in 1995 will have fewer holidays than Wales (and England); congratulates the seven cities in the USA that will declare St. David's Day a special holiday; and believes that the ancient and popular celebrations of the Welsh national day should be honoured and elevated to the full status of a public holiday.

This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs.
