It is certainly not unlawful to pay anyone extra at any time! However, there is no statutory obligation to pay an enhanced hourly rate for bank holidays and no statutory obligation to give a day off in lieu. In terms of statutory requirements, it would be lawful to make employees work bank holidays without paying extra and without giving any time off in lieu.
