Lord Storey – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Storey on 2014-03-24.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Wallace of Saltaire on 20 March, whether they will now detail which specific and itemised duties were performed by each former Prime Minister in each year that the Public Duty Costs Allowance was awarded to them.

Lord Wallace of Saltaire

The Public Duty Cost Allowance exists as a reimbursement of incurred expenses for necessary office costs and secretarial costs arising from their special position in public life. The allowance is not paid to support private or parliamentary duties.
