It was 22 years ago, that the then National Assembly for Wales voted unanimously in favour of St David's Day being made a bank holiday. The Welsh Government has since said it wants one, countless petitions have set up in favour and now the Conservatives in Wales have also said they think it is a no-brainer. Throughout this time, the UK Government has been against it, except the Prime Minister says he wasn't aware of it.
Boris Johnson was in Newtown on Friday for the Welsh Conservative party conference and we asked him why the people of Wales don't deserve a bank holiday. His reply was that he didn't know it was even an ongoing debate. "I'm so sorry. I'm going to have to pass on that," he said.
