UK Debt.

[KardioKate]

Chaps. I could use some graphs showing the UK's historical debt throughout the last few decades - trying to find something and failing miserably!

Any pointers?

Have you tried putting 'uk national debt graph' into Google images?

Bank of England website...maybe.

I'd start with the debt management office

www.dmo.gov.uk , specifically the data page http://www.dmo.gov.uk/index.aspx?page=Gilts/Data

but, if I was writing an essay about it, I'd want to include 'off balance sheet debt' like HS1, PPP schemes etc.

Wanting to be informed about the state of the nation's finances (unlike the vast majority of the general public) would normally be thought of as a good thing...

Don't forget the £5 trillion liability in respect of earned state pension and public sector final salary pension schemes...

Yeah, until you see the state of the nations finances. Then you wish you hadn't looked.
