- What is longer than the length of three football field, is 200 years old and made of animal skin? It's Parliament's longest act, held in the Parliamentary Archives. The Land Tax Act 1821 is a colossal piece of legislation that is roughly 348 meters long and made up of 757 membranes that were stitched together.
Over 65,000 commissioners across England, Scotland and Wales were asked to gather a tax on property and other assets. The commissioners are listed within the Act, which reveals changing shift sin population during the Industrial Revolution of Victorian times.
Find out what the Act tells us about Parliament 200 years ago, why it is made of animal skin, how we keep it in good condition, and why it should last for many hundreds more years.
