Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds has confirmed that Downing Street will not be announcing an extra bank holiday off the back of England winning Euro 2025 on Sunday.
The prime minister has faced pressure to call a celebratory day off but the move would cost the economy an estimated £2.4billion.
Mr Reynolds told Times Radio: “There should be a day of celebration. That’s what the prime minister promised.
“That’s not a bank holiday, but there is a Downing Street reception today. There’ll be the Victory Parade tomorrow.
“I’m afraid I can’t announce a bank holiday, but there should be a celebration to mark this brilliant achievement.”
