Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether former Prime Ministers in receipt of the Public Duty Costs Allowance were required to notify his Department by 31 March of the total costs they intended to claim in the 2022/23 claim year; and whether any costs to be claimed in the 2022/23 claim year were notified to his Department after that date.

In the 2022/23 financial year, all PDCA claims from the offices of the former Prime Ministers were received by the department in time for our 31st March financial cut off.

Full disclosure of the 2022/23 amounts will be published in the Cabinet Office Annual Report and Account 2022-23 which will be published later in the year.
