The origional debt was more than 52 million in todays money, but less than 52 million at the time.
The ammount owed constantly changed with the intrest added on each year.
*Edit* Are you sure its not 52 billion?? 52 million is peanuts.
The UK is still in a vast ammount of debt tho, much of it to America.
The UK national debt as at the end of 2003 - the last date for accurate(ish) figures was...
£437.4 billion
