HC Deb 02 December 1991 vol 200 c15W
Mr. Alan Williams

To ask the Prime Minister if he will list the public duties undertaken by former Prime Ministers for which the special financial allowance is provided.

The Prime Minister

The allowance that I announced on 27 March is available to former Prime Ministers to assist them with the heavy office and secretarial expenses they incur in handling correspondence and engagements as a result of their special position in public life.
