Petition Abolish the "public duties cost allowance" for ex-PMs

More details

The BBC have recently revealed that Margaret Thatcher has claimed over half a million pounds over the last five years, because she used to be Prime Minister.
She is not alone in claiming money; John Major and Tony Blair have both taken plenty as well.

If the government insists upon cuts, they can start by abolishing this slush fund.
Regardless of how anyone feels about the individuals in question, there is no way it can be right for US to keep paying any politician because of the job they USED to do.
