Subject: RE: May Day to be shifted?
Surely this would be a decision of the culture Secretary, not the business Secretary.
It's entirely appropriate that we should recognise the defeat of fascism, and mark the sacrifices of allied soldiers (including my own father, a prisoner of war in Italy and Germany), but we also need to move on, look to the present day, celebrate peace and international cooperation.
