A full-time employee is entitled to four weeks paid holiday each year. This can be inclusive or exclusive of national holidays (detailed later) and days when the business traditionally shuts down (i.e. the Christmas period).
For example, if an employee is contracted to work 5 days a week, the employee is entitled to:
5 days x 4 weeks = 20 days holiday per year
If the employee is contracted to 6 days per week, then their holiday entitlement is:
6 days x 4 weeks = 24 days holiday per year
And now the holiday entitled is going to increase. Check the link for more detailed info:

Discuss it with your boss and tell him that it's what the law says. Goodluck!
