Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to undertake a review of the Public Duty Costs Allowance.
The Public Duty Costs Allowance (PDCA) has a limit of £115,000 per year. The limit is reviewed annually and at the start of each Parliament; the government is currently in the process of reviewing the limit and will publish the outcome in due course.
There are no current plans to review the PDCA more widely.
