I would encorage you to check other sources.

Just inviting discussion on how this may effect some of our "Umbrella" Contracting Cousins

well my plan 'e' may be to start an unbrella company - If I can then hold back say 8% of a contractors pay for 'holiday' think of the interst I'd make in just a few short months with just a few clients....

Especially if contractual obligations meant they couldn't take holiday in that year and they were only allowed to carry forward 5 days to the next year.

If its good enough for a real company then surely its good enough for an umbrella.

The contractor would be able to use his own money a lot more usefully, than the Umbrela!! It's just being downright lazy, and complaining that they have spent all thier money and can't go on Holiday!!
