Why this petition matters

Started by Karl Davies

The Public Duties Cost Allowance (PDCA) allows former Prime Ministers to claim back up to £115,000 on expenses like offices, staff and travel, for the rest of their life.

While payments are only made to cover the cost of "public duties", we are all very aware, historically, of how much MP expenses have been twisted to serve personal purposes.

Given the short length of Liz Truss' term as PM, and the economic turmoil inflicted upon the UK during that period, this is a petition for either:

A) Liz Truss to honourably & voluntarily forgo the PDCA, permanently.

B) Award of the PDCA is to be withheld by the Cabinet Office and its Finance Team, permanently.

The appointment of yet another national representative without public assent was already a moral breach of our core democratic principles - rewarding such a tragic nomination via the PDCA would be to rub salt in the national wound.

Liz Truss, how would you like to be remembered?

Thank you for your support.
