Councillor Stephen Morgan, leader of Portsmouth Labour Party, backed Jeremy Corbyn’s proposals to introduce the extra days should the party win June’s General Election.
Under Labour plans, there will be a national holiday on St George’s Day (April 23), St David’s Day (March 1), St Patrick’s Day (March 17) and St Andrew’s Day (November 30).
Cllr Morgan said: ‘More and more people are working longer hours or taking on second jobs to make ends meet. I know how difficult things are for people in our city. Britain’s workers deserve a break. That’s why I’m backing plans for workers to have the opportunity of more days off a year.’
