Not only, but also

In England, many years ago, either the Heath or Thatcher government introduced the "Industrial Relations Act", but never shortened it to it's initials.

Before that, in Belfast, the new (never built) motorway through the city was announced as the "Belfast Urban Motorway".
For some reason they failed to use the acronym.
