But Lucy Frazer said their achievements will be marked ‘in some way’.
A Cabinet minister has ruled out adding an extra bank holiday to the calendar to allow the public to celebrate should England win Sunday’s World Cup final.
Speaking to the PA news agency before kick-off, Ms Frazer said: “We will definitely be celebrating the victory of the Lionesses, whether they win in the final or not, they’ve done a tremendous amount of work to get to this stage, and we will be marking it definitely in some way.Since calls for an extra bank holiday were first made last week, the Government has pushed back against the idea, but insisted it would find the “right way to celebrate” if the Lionesses emerge victorious.
“I’m never complacent about anything… but there should be a celebratory bank holiday if the Lionesses bring it home.” Official figures showed the UK economy contracted in May after businesses across the country downed tools for the coronation.
