Just out out curiosity what was the money used for when the gold was sold?

 

pies.

sex toys for blair to use on bush.

ammo to go to war with so they can shoot at men in a desert who didnt even want to fight in the first place.

To employ 360 odd MP's at £64k a year plus expenses?

Just found this:

 

"The driving force behind the decision is still not known, although it was said at the time that Brown was suspected of attempting to prop up the newly launched but beleaguered euro. "

 

Early reports reckon he'd lost between £2bn and £4bn (from a 2007 report) but a 2009 report says its closer £7bn.

No this is a serious question, it's just I was having a chat with a work about the national debt and he was talking about government bonds. He reckoned the gold had been cashed in to buy back some of the bonds. Just wondered if anyone knew anything.

I guess it was just put into the pot. That same pot has to pay for fighting wars in other countries, paying all the public servants in the country and dishing out benefits. Benefits are tax credits, working tax credits etc. not specifically aimed at any one section of society. I doubt there was much left after that.
