Brown Attacked Over Road Tax Plans - 4th Jun 2008 8:53pm

But the PM said the Tory leader sounded "more like a used car salesman".
Some green groups say the tax should apply to new cars only, rather than all cars bought since 2001.
Owners of some of the oldest cars could face a tax rise of as much as £200 - a move which the Conservatives and many Labour MPs say will hit poorer drivers the hardest.
