Should be outlined in your employee manual. If you don't have one, ask for one, supposed to be mandatory that you get one. Holidays are NOT part of "annual leave".

There are regulations these days which govern how much annual leave you have. With an amount like 20 days, I would think that that does not include bank hols as there are 8 of them and that would mean your annual holiday allowance is only 12 days which is not enough if you are full time. Check your contract or with your personnel/HR dept.

you are entitled to 1.5 days per month holiday (pro rata) this DOES include bank holidays in most cases.
You do not have an automatic right to take bank or public holidays off work, with or without pay.
If your employer gives you bank or public holidays off and pays you for them, they will count towards your four weeks' holiday unless your employment contract says that you get bank/public holidays on top of the holiday the law gives you. For example, if you work five days a week and you get eight paid bank holidays off each year, these are taken off the 20 days' holiday the law gives you.
that last chunk is from the citizens advice website, just goes to show how wrong people on this site can be

20 days is a minimum legal requirement, but as bank holidays do not have to be recognised by your employer they do not count towards that 20 days. however.....
the law was supposed to be 20 days plus bank holidays when it was originally dreamed up by government, so there are moves afoot at the moment to make it 28 days minimum. it is likely to become law around october time.
of course its the small business man who will get hurt by this. we employ 12 on the shop floor and struggle with cover when 2 people off together. give everyone another week and a half off and we are in trouble.

It does depend on your contract, but in 99% of cases, your 20 days are additional to the bank holidays.

The Bank Holidays are in ADDITION to your 20 days annual leave. If you have to work on any of Bank Holidays your boss has GOT to give you an alternative day off by law.

should not be part of your annual leave, Bank Holidays, or statutary holidays are over and above your days of annual leave

Depends on your type of work, generally they are not included but it depends whether your work pace closed down for them. Also depends on the terms of your contract.

no they are not included in your 20 days holidays, it should tell you in your contract and it doesn't matter how long you have been with the company as far as bank holidays are concerned

Standard practice is that it should not be included, but check your contract carefully - some employers are very sneaky!
