Stop funding the annual Public Duty Costs Allowance for ex-PMs

Stop funding the annual Public Duty Costs Allowance for ex-PMs — 25 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We petition the Government and Parliament to remove the publicly funded annual allowance for former Prime Ministers, and to invest this saving in Defence for our Country.

Additional details

Nearly 10m of taxpayers money has been spent to help fund the public lives of former Prime Ministers after they leave Downing Street, and over the last three decades three former PMs have claimed over a million pounds. We believe this should be stopped and the resulting savings be used to help towards the Defence of our Country.
