After "Big Bang" in 1986, the structure of the gilt-edged market changed forever. This event, which was held in the Bank of England by kind permission of the Governor, Mervyn King, examined how the old gilt-edged market operated in practice. The event contributed greatly to historical knowledge by putting first hand experience on record about an arcane structure.

Lord George of St Tudy • Professor Gordon Pepper • Forrest Capie • Sir Nigel Althaus • Tony Coleby • Rodney Offer • Alistair Buchanan • Peter Wills • Geoffrey Wood • George Nissen • Pat Phillips • Bob Walther • Michael Deakin • Ranald Michie
