<p>The Government does not hold a full record of claims against the Public Duty Costs

the financial year 2013/14, the annual amount of PDCA claimed by each former Prime
Minister has been included in the Cabinet Office Annual Reports and Accounts which
is published on GOV.UK. The years that have been published in this way are highlighted
in Table 1. Prior to 2013, in line with the approach taken on Parliament’s Office
Costs Allowance, to which the PDCA was linked, details of claims made by former Prime
Ministers were not published.</p><p> </p><p>I would also refer the noble Lord to a
