The unashamedly populist proposals form the centrepiece of the party's policy review on the quality of life to be published shortly.
Other plans are thought to include compulsory community service and giving voters the right to sack poorly performing public officials.
The policy review, chaired by former cabinet minister John Gummer and advised by Zac Goldsmith, the millionaire Tory candidate, follows last week's report by John Redwood on economic competitiveness.
According to Channel 4 News, a draft is also expected to recommend a range of environmental taxes.
