Andrew Bailey (Governor of the Bank of England) interview SOT (1 of 2)
Q: On banknote design
- I'm enormously impressed - wonderful design
- It captures so much of Turing's work in one small space.
- You've got the coding, the computer and perhaps what Turing is most known for us the Enigma code cracking and bombe machine.
- Really packed in - very nice design - huge contribution that Turing made.
Q: A worthy person to be on it?
- Definitely, definitely.
Q: On diversity of people on banknotes - another white man
- We're flying the rainbow today. Turing was a brilliant scientist, mathematician and he was also a gay man. A gay man who was treated appallingly - committed suicide - appalling treatment - Turing is a very apt recognition of diversity.
- There's a lot more to Alan Turing than just a white man.
Q: Would you like to see next banknote represent someone from ethnic minority?
- Definitely - I hope that our next bank note will feature somebody from an ethnic [minority] background, but Turing is a very strong recognition of diversity.
- Much of the work today in artificial intelligence draws on the pioneering work that Turing did.
Q: When was the last time you had a £50 note in your pocket?
- It's not a normal note that people carry around.
- But the number issued in circulation has gone up and is still rising though use in transactions is going down.
- We think people have it as a store of value.
Q: Future of £50 note - currency of corrupt elites?
- It's our highest value bank note here, but in comparison to around the world, it's a lot lower.
- We don't want our bank notes to be the source of criminal activity.
