In addition to the allowance paid, former Prime Ministers 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 or their staff. The pension allowance amounted to a credit of £115,463 being the reversal of a brought forward accrual (2013-14: £76,000). Not set Not set Not set
