David Cameron goes for stern green shake-up  
Green Travel  
   

Last night, David Cameron was embroiled in an advancing row over his support for a Tory commission supporting higher green taxes on motoring, home improvements and domestic flights.

The Quality of Life Policy Group, created by Mr Cameron for helping the struggle opposing climate change, also moved for a tax on workplace car parking areas, a pause on airport advancement and limits on car advertising.

One of the most disputable concepts  would require an owner of a home to pay for making his or her property greener if the owner increased the carbon footprint with an extension, conservatory or room modification.

Despite the commission suggesting measures which would turn out to judge the way of life of classical Tory voters, Mr Cameron held tight its findings, announcing that much of it would be added in his next election state of belief..

But the 550-page report was disapproved by several Tory traditionalists who apprehended it would damage the economy jobs and the votes of the party.

Groups representing taxpayers, motorists and airlines companies together with their customer also attacked it.

Meanwhile, Mr. Gordon Brown accelerated his effort to pursue Tory voters and unsettle Mr. Cameron by sending invitations to Lady Thatcher for a surprise two-hour discussions at No 10.

According to critics, proposals by Mr. Cameron would hit the tough-grinding middle-class families hardest.

"If implemented, these proposals would harm working families, motorists and manufacturers who are already over-taxed", said Matthew Sinclair, the Taxpayers' Alliance spokesman.
