Put Walter Bagehot on a banknote

Additional Information

Walter Bagehot (1826-1877) is a leading writer on financial and banking issues, still influential and relevant today's banking & financial crises, cited by Robert Peston and Mervyn King among many others. Inventor of the Treasury Bill and praised on his death in a Chancellor's Budget speech. Ministers should urge Bank of England to mark his legacy by putting him on a banknote, perhaps around 2026, the bicentenary of his birth.
