Rejected petition Abolish the former Prime Ministers' Public Duty Costs Allowance

More details

Former Prime Ministers are allowed to claim up to £109,000 per year for 'public duties' for the rest of their lives.

This allowance is on top of any pay and pension they receive.

Since we are 'all in this together', it is time that this allowance is abolished.
