HC Deb 14 February 1978 vol 944 c193W
54. Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps she is taking to ensure that teachers and schoolchildren do not lose one day of their present holiday entitlements as a result of May Day becoming a bank holiday.

Miss Margaret Jackson

Under the Schools Regulations local education authorities determine term and holiday dates. It is thus for them to decide how the new May Day holiday should be accommodated within the holiday programme.
