I don't know why I didn't get Richard's request for web sites so I apologise
for doing it in reply to this memo.
I have a developing and successful intranet site here for our Economics
students (partly developed and maintained by them) which I would love to put
on the internet but I think I'd be sued to kingdom come for breach of
copyright.
Some of the links I have there are:
http://www.rbs.co.uk/economics/uk_economy/monthly_update/default.htm
a great review of the UK Economy from Nat West - published monthly - also
available in email form so you don't forget
http://www.frbsf.org/publications/education/greateconomists/frames.html
great fun for pictures and reviews of great Economists - good for a picture
quiz
http://www.oecd.org/EN/home/0,,EN-home-20-nodirectorate-no-no-no-20,00.html
for data
http://europa.eu.int/euro/html/home5.html?lang=5
useful background on the Euro
http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/
essential reading here on the budget and CSR
http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/Economic_Data_and_Tools/Latest_Economic_Indica
tors/data_indic_index.cfm
the Treasury's pocket data bank is a fantastic statistical document - get
the excel version and create your own charts

anything fiscal and superb on budgets
Sorry I've gone over the top 5!
