Hmmm... Tim Leunig (NESTA) suggests that one way round the UK's current problems with Gilt's rising yields would be to issue a proportion of public debt as €-denominated bonds, which would:
reduce the likely interest paid;
also make £-denominated bonds more attractive by reduction of issue(s);
sidestep the risk of a run on Gilts driven by sterling-focussed assessment of risk(s).
What he doesn't note is it would also be a good sign of alignment with the EU!
