Help on source data for historic Saving Interest Rates

[OneDs]

I'm after an trusted source annual rate of savings interest in a standard easy access account for each year going back to 2000.

Anyone have any ideas? I've looked at ONS and can't find anything I'm thinking premium bonds might be a good indicator?

Bank of England have some interest numbers here

But I don't really understand what the notes mean. Anyone help?

Bank of England base rates are here

Angle Irish have historic rates for their accounts here

http://www.angloirishbank.co.uk/Personal_Savings/I...

but they only go back to 2004 with their easy access account, but that should give you enough data to get an average spread to BOE base rate and you can have an educated guess at what the interest rates were likely to have been
