Forced annual leave with 1 hour notice

I have clients that keep cancelling sessions for various reasons. Usually if a client cancels then they still pay and i'll do admin instead. However, my boss has now decided that if they cancel then that time will be taken out of my annual leave. I know that a job can force you to take holiday but everything I've read has said you need at least 2 days notice. I argued the point with my boss and they said my notice starts now and if any of my future sessions are cancelled then that'll come out of my holiday. The problem is that I don't find out a session is cancelled untill about an hour before. Surely that notice isn't acceptable? Does anyone know any good sources that I could use to back me up? The Gov website says 2 days notice but nothing about what constitutes a notice period.…

I'm full time salary staff, leaving the company in 2 weeks, UK based. This is also happening with others. It's a small company so I don't have a union or HR to talk to.
