St Andrews Day to become public holiday?

It's looking more and more likely that St Andrews Day will become a public holiday in Scotland after 76 cross party MSP's have signed a private members bill and launched a public "have your say" exercise.

Still no mention of St George's Day being made a public holiday of course - that would mean acknowledging the existence of England and we all know that's a taboo word in Westminster.
