Abstract
SUMMARY The Wilson Committee Report of June 1980 examined in depth the operation of the UK financial institutions. This paper first outlines the background to the Committee and summarizes its main findings. It then reviews the statistical problems faced in its operational analyses and the suggestions made regarding the existing gaps in the currently available financial statistics. Two further areas of concern to statisticians in the main report are then discussed, namely the handling of investments in so-called high-risk situations and the possible use of index-linked securities in the raising of capital.
