Malta's MLP Would Restore Days In Lieu If Elected

Sources: Times of Malta and Malta public holidays. Recently interviewed on One TV, the leader of Malta's Labour Party, Dr. Alfred Sant, promised that, if elected, public holidays that fall on a weekend would no longer be "lost" and that a day in lieu would be given on the following scheduled working day (recall from our post of October 21, that the current government recently ruled-out any return to days in lieu).

The next parliamentary elections in Malta will be in March 2008 and that would mean that the June 29 Saints Paul and Peter public holiday (locally called L-Imnarja) that falls on a Sunday in 2008 would be followed by a day in lieu public holiday on Monday, June 30, 2008.
