Labour previously said it wanted four new UK-wide bank holidays to mark each nation's patron saint day.

£1bn/year cost, apparently.
I wonder if that still applies if a monarch dies.

    I think that did bring in more money due to tourism. Same with the coronation. However, I can also see a St George’s day Bank Holiday generating that. Quite a bit of tourism here in Ulster for St Patrick’s day.
