The polymer holding Winston Churchill together in the new machine-washable 拢5 note has been revealed to contain beef suet.

Henry Smith, who chairs the all party parliamentary group on animal welfare, said: "It's a shame there are animal-derived products that are being used to make it, and there are alternatives - vegetable-based products that could be used in the polymer."
