of the expenses scandal, as it emerged she claimed more in expenses and administration costs than any other Welsh MP. Her expenses and office costs were £57,000 in a year, including claims for a new flat and costs of moving offices in central Cardiff. Willott also came under some pressure from political opponents over her support for the bedroom tax. A protest outside her Cardiff office about the issue led to her not going in to her office on that day. After Parliament Willott works as The Director of Enterprise and Innovation at St Mary’s University, Twickenham. She is also a member of IPSAs board. She was awarded an OBE in the Queen's 2018 Birthday Honours for Services to Political and Public Life. Personal life Willott is married to Andrew Poole and they have two children; the birth of her second child in February 2013 notably necessitated her absence from a vote on the Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Bill.
