The Mail on Sunday reports today that “a German company set to cash in on Labour's new motoring tax is today revealed as a major donor to Tony Blair's favourite think tank which is the main cheerleader for the 'road pricing' plan.

Frankfurt-based T-Systems has created the gadgets that will allow the Government to spy on motorists by satellite and then charge them for every mile they drive.

The firm, part of Deutsche Telekom, has given £45,000 to the Institute of Public Policy Research, the main cheerleader for the 'road pricing' plan.”
