| 3 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 £478,741 (2014-15: £216,355) and included: The Rt Hon. Tony Blair – 2015-16: £115,000 (2014-15: £115,000 accrued); The Rt Hon. Gordon Brown – 2015-16: £114,763 paid in respect of the 2015-16 allowance, and £10,632 paid in respect of the 2014-15 allowance, not accrued in 2014-15 (2014-15: £112,450 of which £101,818 accounted for in 2014-15 and £10,632 accounted for in 2015-16); Sir John Major – 2015-16: £115,000 (2014-15: £115,000). Additionally, the Public Duty Cost Allowance was extended to the former Deputy Prime Minister, The Rt Hon.Nick Clegg, for the period of five years from 9 May 2015, to be reviewed annually. The Rt Hon. Nick Clegg – 2015-16: £101,911 (2014-15: £nil). In addition to the allowance paid, former Prime Ministers and The Rt Hon. Nick Clegg 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, The Rt Hon. Nick Clegg or their staff. The pension allowance amounted to £21,435 (2014-15: credit of £115,463 being the reversal of a brought forward accrual) | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
