As promised on the ToryDiary thread, here are my original papers from 2000 in which I devised the idea of a price stabilising fuel duty.
The European Journal article: http://www.europeanfoundation.org/docs/ej0801.pdf
The eBow Brief from the Bow Group: Download ebow_fuel_tax_1.doc
The concept was reported at the time amongst options for the 2001 Budget, and was taken up by some in the "Silent Majority's" "Highway Robbery" and "Boycott the Pumps" campaigns - e.g. here: http://www.silentmajority.co.uk/highwayrobbery/btp11.html
(the penultimate paragraph is a copy-out of some of my piece - sadly, unattributed and hence plagiarised, but I suppose that is the fate of much think-tankery...)
[Incidentally, if you are wondering who "Brian Bailey" is, that's my stepfather.]
