Rejected petition To make the 16th September (Owain Glyndwr Day) a national holiday

The 16th September was the date that our last Prince of Wales was acclaimed. This date should be celebrated here in Wales with at least a public holiday.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.

Petitions to the Senedd must call for a specific action that falls within the powers of the Senedd or Welsh Government.

Powers relating to the designation of Bank and Public Holidays rest with the UK Government. As a result, it is not possible for the Senedd to take the action called for by your petition.

Further information about the powers and responsibilities of the Senedd can be found here: https://senedd.wales/en/abthome/role-of-assembly-how-it-works/Pages/Powers.aspx

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
