Tabled by Mr Roger Godsiff (Labour) 11 signatures

The motion

That this House notes with concern, particularly in the present economic climate, the recent estimates of the cost of protecting former Prime Ministers and other former politicians; believes that the Government should conduct an urgent review of these funding arrangements; and further believes thatformer politicians should pay towards the cost of their own police protection when they receive income from commercial activities when they are accompanied by bodyguards paid for by the UK taxpayer.
