"Chancellor Gordon Brown has put green issues at the heart of his Pre-Budget Report, with motorists and air travellers hit by a hike in taxes.
The Chancellor has announced a 1.25p rise in fuel duty, taking effect from midnight tonight, ending a three-year freeze on the tax.
Meanwhile, air passenger duty for most flights will double from February 1 next year, rising from £5 to £10."
Thanks very much Gordon!
