the lock-on equipment they used to blockade the runway as devices used to endanger life. In its judgment, the Court of Appeal stated that they “should not have been prosecuted for the extremely serious offence, because [their] conduct did not satisfy the various elements of the offence,” adding “there was in truth, no case to answer”. Register of Members' Interests From 1 September 2021 to 1 September 2022, Wright has been Professor of Practice at the University of Warwick in Coventry, for which he receives £10,000 per annum, paid monthly. This is for approximately 3 hrs a week. (Registered 1 October 2021). Expenses claims Wright has defended his expenses claims as an MP, including claiming nearly £3,000 for the purchase of furniture for a flat in London after he became an MP in 2005. He repaid £46.71 over-claimed for council tax in 2007–08 after a "genuine mistake". He also claimed just under £800 in mobile phone call charges which he was ordered to repay. He appealed the decision to order repayment of these expenses, claiming that he had requested permission to charge an amount for mobile phone calls as he did not have a landline installed in his London flat. Wright succeeded in his appeal and was not required to repay the amount claimed for mobile phone calls. Wright published errors on his website in 2009, placing political links on it, an activity banned if costs for the site are paid for from Parliamentary expenses, although he was not required to repay the expenses claimed in this instance. Personal life He married Yvonne Salter in 1998, with whom he has a son and a daughter. He and his wife live in the village of Shrewley in Warwickshire. In November 2018, Wright said that he likes to unwind by spending time with his "very large" Lego collection. Wright described assembling lego bricks as "therapeutic". He was knighted in the 2022 Birthday Honours for political and public service.
