The FuelPriceEscalator FPE was the practice of automatically increasing hydrocarbon oil duty better known as fuel tax in the United Kingdom ahead of inflation. The escalator was introduced as a measure to stem the increase in pollution from road transport and cut the need for new road building which was then a politically sensitive topic. The escalator also resulted in significant increases in revenue for HM Treasury The Treasury . The fuelpriceescalator was introduced by the Conservative government in 1993 and set at an annual increase of 3 ahead of inflation, later rising to 5 . After gaining power in 1997, the rate of increase was raised by the Labour government to 6 per year. The last rise due to the escalator took place following the budget on 9 March 1999. ref http archive.treasury.gov.uk budget 1999 speech.html ref Tax increases above inflation have not ceased, however the increase in fuel duty for 2009 was above inflation and the tax is planned to increase on 1 April from 2010 to 2013 by 1 ppl above indexation in each year. ref cite web title Hydrocarbon Oils Duty rates url http www.hmrc.gov.uk budget2009 bn66.pdf publisher UK HMRC ref The end to the escalator was announced on 9 November 2000, following the Fuel protests in the United Kingdom UK fuel protests , of which it was a contributory factor.

Although the system and the camp it served have long since vanished, it remains in situ and largely intact but has not been operational since the camp closed. It is arrived at by climbing Little Switzerland Road site of today s Edelweiss Hotel where a large red brick and stone archway can be found mid way up the road. The entrance was bricked over in the 1990s owing to the site being the target of vandalism, but the structure remains in place. Behind the facade remain the turnstiles and toilets with ceramic tiles and copper pipework before reaching the approach steps to the chairlift itself.

A fuel Hedge finance hedge contract allows a large fuel consuming company to establish a fixed or capped cost, via a commodity swap or option.
