Corraine Wilson (born 11 April 1965) is a politician in the United Kingdom, and a Scottish National Party Member of Parliament for Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock, first elected in the 2015 general election.[1][2]

Political career

Wilson became a South Ayrshire councillor in the 2012 local elections for the ward of Ayr East.[3]

As of June 2015, she is one of 125 MPs who employ a member of their family; she employs her son as a caseworker.[4]

Controversies

In 2016 Corri Wilson and Chic Brodie, an Ayr-based SNP MSP representing the South Scotland electoral region at the Scottish Parliament, faced controversy over a public expenses scandal, with Chic Brodie transferring £87,616 of public expenses into Corri Wilson's Caledonii Resources for "outsourced constituency work" after her election as councillor to the Ayr East ward in 2012, with some £20,000 being transferred during the Scottish independence referendum campaign in 2014 and a further £20,000 being transferred during the 2015 UK general election campaign. The expenses were not recorded within Corri Wilson's Register of Members' Interests. The matter is currently being investigated by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.[5]
