A piece of legisaltion known as The Longest Act is celebrating its 200th<\/sup> anniversary with a display at the People\u2019s History Museum in Manchester.<\/p>\n

The 1821 Land Tax Commissioners\u2019 Act<\/a> was a piece of legislation passed by the UK Parliament which said commissioners could collect the money from taxes on the land, property and personal property for the government.<\/p>\n

The reason for its length of 348 metres is that the act names all 65,000 commissioners who could collect tax for the government, a practice that was in operation until 1963.<\/p>\n

If unrolled the act would reach a quarter of a mile long and take 10 minutes to walk from end to end and back again.<\/p>\n

\"The
The Longest Act rolled together<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although famous for its length, the act was also pivotal in the reorganising of tax collection as the UK developed during the industrial revolution and was central to the government maximising revenue raised by the tax.<\/p>\n

The act is currently on display at the People\u2019s History Museum on loan from the UK Parliament Archives.<\/p>\n

Head of collections Jenny Mabbott said: \u201cWhen we were approached by parliament, we thought it was a really important way to connect with parliamentary archives as we are the museum of national democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the first time the act has been on loan and it\u2019s a good opportunity for it to come to a different area.<\/p>\n

“It’s great for the museum and for the audiences and communities to see things on loan that they wouldn\u2019t otherwise see, we have had loans in the past but nothing as high-profile as this.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the act got here we had to make sure we had the correct temperature and humidity controls, with it being made of animal skin if there were spikes in temperature there would be problems.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
