  Record Copies of Acts
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  Those voting Aye were supporting a committee recommendation that the official record copy of every act of Parliament be printed on acid-free record paper. Those voting No were rejecting the recommendation and retaining the present system whereby record copies of Acts are printed on vellum. The campaign for a 'No' vote was led by Brian White, Labour MP for North East Milton Keynes, in whose constituency the vellum manufacturer was based.
  
  This was a House of Commons matter and therefore a free vote, although the change would have saved money and the government therefore endorsed the recommendations of the committee. This vote is therefore one in which the "rebels" are, in fact, the strongest Government loyalists.
