Members of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom and the Privy Council of Northern Ireland.
This includes the current and all former Prime Ministers of the UK, and all current and former members of the Cabinet of the United Kingdom (a committee of the Privy Council), with the exception of those who have resigned from the Privy Council.
Barons (including life peers), viscounts and earls, and their wives.
Marquesses are "The Most Honourable" and dukes are "The Most Noble" or "His Grace", and, if Privy Counsellors, retain these higher styles. Scottish feudal barons and lairds are "The Much Honoured".

Why not just change the rules.....If an MP can claim something on expenses then the rest of us can also write off the same thing from income tax. So if you have bought a big TV or travel to and from work or even if you need to buy food--write off the cost. Seems fair to me, if they don't pay why should we.......
