HC Deb 25 January 1995 vol 253 c275W
36. Mrs. Ray Michie

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what measures he has taken to safeguard bank holidays in Scotland.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The dates of bank holidays in Scotland are either defined in schedule 1 to the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 or designated each year by royal proclamation under section 1(3) of the Act. There are no proposals at present to change these dates.
