You need to add about £1.7tn to the national debt figure today for the liabilities of the Royal Bank of Scotland that have been taken over by the government.
Do you have a contact email where I can send you the article Stephanie Flanders has produced for the budget?
Indeed, Robert Peston has alluded to GDP being around £ 1.4 Trillion. Her projections from the IMF and the IFS for 2015 indicate figures between 50 and 80% of GDP as Total Debt.
That would have the debt, albeit for 2015, at a smidge over a TRILLION POUNDS.
Or have I got my sums wrong ? This is a brilliant site - this should be up in Trafalgar Square or in Piccadilly Circus, so we can see how deep in debt we are ?
To Nick : the counter only takes into account the official Maastricht figures, not the off balance, so it is comparable to other countries, by using the same definition.
To Jonathan : the RBS debt will be included if (and only if) it is included by the ONS, depending on the European rules.
To Sabine : Thank you for the encouragement. I use ONS data, and Eurostat if necessary.
To the anonymous commentator : Yes, the counter needs to be updated, but the ONS has not yet released the official data for Q1 2009.

Your comment that "Canadian debt is decreasing " is incorrect. Since 2008 the debt has been incresing at an alarming rate and now stands at over $580 billion. Peter Jones
