As you booked a week off I believe (although I stand to be corrected) they need to give you twice as much time to cancel so in your case they need to give you 2 weeks. Are you physically going away. got plans ?0 -
The other relevant question is how long you've been there - if its less than 2 years, then exerting your rights may result in your employer showing exactly how few rights you have by sacking you as you'll have no protection apart from against statutory discrimination.Adventure before Dementia!0

Or exercising a statutory right like notice to refuse holidays, but proving it may be an issue if you don't create the paper trail.0 -
Tell them to whistle, its too late for them to cancel it now. If they wanted to cancel it they had to give you 1 weeks notice.0

'Your employer can refuse permission for your holiday as long as they give you notice which is at least as long as the holiday requested. So to refuse a request for a week's leave, they would have to tell you a week in advance.'Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).0
