Dragons’ Den star Deborah Meaden and ITV’s Carolyn McCall say government should prioritise public wellbeing
Ministers are looking into proposals to make next month’s jubilee bank holiday permanent from next year, amid a campaign by business leaders urging ministers to prioritise public wellbeing over the possible economic costs.
Bosses including the Dragons’ Den star Deborah Meaden and Carolyn McCall, the chief executive of ITV, said the government needed to consider the wider benefits from turning next month’s extra public holiday marking Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign into an annual fixture.
