Holiday pay

Options
Hello, 
I have been made redundant with three months notice ending the 20th of June. 
I have 7 and half holiday days to use I have been asked to book these despite the fact that I am unable to work due to the company being closed due to Covid 19.
Should I not be paid for these day? 
Any advice would be appreciated. 
Chris

    You will be paid for them, won't you?  Holiday = paid leave = being paid for the days you take as holiday.

    Assume you're furloughed?

    It's not absolutely clear legally that employees can be compelled to take leave while furloughed, but there isn't too much you can do about it other than argue the toss and try to claim outstanding leave when you've left. If they do ask you to take leave they will have to pay you at 100% of your normal salary rather than 80%.
