This statistic presents parents' opinions on taking their children on holidays during school term time in the United Kingdom in 2017. In the UK, parents can be fined 60 British pounds for a child's non-attendance at school, with the amount rising if not paid within a certain time. Of respondents to the survey, 51 percent said they would be willing to pay the penalty if they were not given permission to take their child out of school for a holiday in order to benefit from cheaper prices outside of the traditional school holidays. Only three percent said they would not do so, while 18 percent were unsure.
