HC Deb 09 July 2001 vol 371 c358W
Paul Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the First Minister of the Welsh Assembly concerning declaring St. David's day a bank holiday in Wales. [2374]

Mr. Paul Murphy

I meet regularly with the First Minister to discuss a range of issues affecting Wales.

Last year, the National Assembly asked the Government to consider declaring St. David's day a public holiday in Wales. This raises significant issues for business, industry and the public sector. I am discussing these matters both with colleagues in Government and with the First Minister.
