Six million workers across Britain, including thousands in St Helens, will, thanks to your Labour government, soon be getting up to eight extra days annual holiday with the first four coming in October this year.
The Labour Party has published new regulations to boost the minimum holiday entitlement from 20 days a year to 24 days this October, and to 28 days from April 2009.
The new legislation will benefit up to 3.5 million women and 2.5 million men, including part-time workers, who will gain extra holidays on a pro-rata basis.
Jim Fitzpatrick MP, Labour's Employment Relations Minister said:
"This extra time off will make a real difference in the lives of hard-working people - a proper rest from work and more time to spend with their families and friends.
"Businesses will benefit too - from reduced absenteeism and a workforce who are more motivated and productive.
