| (2) The Public Duty Cost Allowance was introduced to assist former Prime Ministers, still active in public life. Payments are made only to meet the actual cost of continuing to fulfil public duties. The costs are a reimbursement of incurred expenses for necessary office costs and secretarial costs arising from their special position in public life. The Public Duty Cost Allowance amounted to £331,818 ( 2013-14: £331,348) and included: |
| The Rt Hon Tony Blair - 2014-15: £115,000 accrued (2013-14: £115,000); The Rt Hon Gordon Brown - 2014-15: £112,450 of which £101,818 is accounted for in 2014-15 and £10,632 will be accounted for in 2015-16 (2013-14: £101,348); Sir John Major - 2014-15: £115,000 (2013-14: £115,000). |
| In addition to the allowance paid, former Prime Ministers are entitled to claim a pension allowance to contribute towards their staff pension costs. This is limited to a maximum of 10% of their staff salary costs. Such payments are made directly to the pension providers of those staff; they are not paid to the former Prime Ministers or their staff. The pension allowance amounted to a credit of £115,463 being the reversal of a brought forward accrual (2013-14: £76,000). |
