LONDON (Reuters) - Books opened on Tuesday for the sale via syndication of several billion pounds of a British government bond due to mature in 2065, one of the bookrunners on the deal said.

Price guidance for the 2.5 percent July 2065 gilt was set to yield 0.0-0.25 basis points more than the 50-year benchmark gilt, which matures in July 2068 .

Pricing is expected later on Tuesday and Barclays, Lloyds, Nomura and Royal Bank of Scotland are acting as lead bookrunners on the deal.

The 2065 gilt currently yields 1.55 percent.
