What the petition asks
The Public Duties Costs Allowance should not be available to anyone who has been appointed Prime Minister. It should only be available if the person appointed Prime Minister was the leader of their party at the last General Election.
Prime Ministers that have been selected by their party to replace an incumbent, or leaders of opposition parties, should not be entitled until they have won a General Election for their party.
