Abolish public duties cost allowance for ex Prime Ministers

Additional Information

In the past five years, three former Prime Ministers have cost the taxpayer in total more than £1.7m in public duty allowances. The system was set up by John Major in 1991 to reward former prime ministers for work including answering letters and attending public events. This is a ridiculous waste of public money. Thatcher, Major and Blair are rich enough already. Divert this money into worthwhile things like schools and hospitals.
