We have searched for enhancements of parity violation and combined parity and time reversal violation in the scattering of MeV neutrons from holmium. P-violating analyzing powers, measured by transmission of longitudinally polarized neutrons through unpolarized holmium, were consistent with zero: rho/sub P/ = (-2.4 +- 2.6) x 10/sup -4/ at 7.4 MeV and (-0.2 +- 1.9) x 10/sup -4/ at 12.4 MeV. P,T-violating analyzing powers, measured by transmission of vertically polarized neutrons through horizontally polarized holmium, were also consistent with zero: rho/sub P//sub ,//sub T/ = (-0.9 +- 2.0) x 10/sup -3/ at 7.1 MeV and (-0.4 +- 2.9) x 10/sup -3/ at 11.0 MeV.
