WALES'S NATIONAL HOLIDAY ACT

Posted by Jeff Rees on June 21, 2007 11:17 AM | 

The National Holiday Act was assented to and came into force on June 8, 1978. It was subsequently amended on various occasions. Sometimes, the sole purpose of the amendments was to ensure a certain conformity with the various pieces of legislation.

Quebec has it's own National Holiday on the 24th of June, St. John the Baptist Day and it is a statutory public holiday. Canada is not inconvenienced by it.

Swansea Council may go it alone in giving staff a day off work to celebrate St David's Day.

The Senedd must be the sovereign body representing the people of Wales with the powers to make Laws for the Welsh people;

Not an individual appointed by a British Prime Minister elected from a constituency outside the borders of Wales.

Not a British House of Commons made up of people, the vast majority of whom are elected from a constituency outside the borders of Wales.

Not a British House of Lords completely undemocratic by its nature.
