The majority of MPs voted against discontinuing the practice of printing all Public Acts of Parliament in duplicate on vellum (calf hide).
This went against a vote in the House of Lords[1] as well as the recommendations of a Select Committee.[2]
The campaign to retain the tradition of continuing to print Acts of Parliament on animal skin was led by Brian White in whose constituency the vellum manufacturer was based.[3] (He assured the House that it was calf-skin, not goat skin.)[4]
The current cost of printing Acts on vellum is approximately £32 per page.[5]
