She was the Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Cardiff Central from 2005 to 2015.[1] Willott became a junior minister in the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and Government Equalities Office in December 2013, temporarily standing in for Jo Swinson while she was on maternity leave. She is the first woman and first Liberal Democrat to represent her seat. She was a councillor in the London Borough of Merton from 1998 to 2000. EducationWillott was born in Wimbledon, London.[2] She was educated at Uppingham School, studied Classics at St Mary's College, Durham University,[2] and attended the London School of Economics, obtaining an MSc in Development Studies. Political careerFor a while after university she was chief researcher for Lembit Opik, Liberal Democrat MP for Montgomeryshire. Willott's 2005 campaign was closely linked to specific local and national issues and her support was widespread across all wards. In her maiden speech, Willott pledged to "make Cardiff proud" and celebrated the cultural diversity of her constituency. She declared her priorities in parliament would be local health services, tuition and top-up fees, and council tax.[3] She supported Sir Menzies Campbell in the leadership election in 2006, and was later appointed Shadow Minister for Youth Affairs, Whip, and Deputy Chief Whip. In 2008 she was appointed as Shadow Minister for Justice and later Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. In January 2009 she was appointed Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.[4] In December 2010 she resigned her post as parliamentary aide to Chris Huhne shortly before a vote to increase tuition fees as recommended by the Browne Review, to keep her pledge to constituents that she would vote against any increase in fees.[5] In a mini-reshuffle of the Coalition Government on 3 February 2012 caused by Huhne's prosecution and subsequent resignation, Willott was appointed an Assistant Whip.[6] In May 2014 Willott complained about the hostile atmosphere of prime minister's questions and the low number of female ministers. She called for all-female shortlists for MPs, something which was not Liberal Democrat party policy.[7] In 2014, she left the Government but was appointed to the Privy Council by David Cameron.[8] In 2015, she lost her seat in the House of Commons to the Labour Party's Jo Stevens. Post Political CarrerWillott works as The Director of Enterprise and Innovation at St Mary’s University, Twickenham.[9] She is also a member of IPSAs board [10] She was awarded an OBE in the Queen's 2018 Birthday Honours for Services to Political and Public Life. Personal lifeShe is married to Andrew Poole and they have two children;[11] the birth of her second child in February 2013 notably necessitated her absence from a vote on the Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Bill.[12] ControversyWillott was subject to criticism from rival political parties and the media in the wake 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.[13] 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 for the day.[14] References1. ^https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/S14000041 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://jennywillott.com/en/page/biography|title=Biography|work=Jenny Willott MP|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 3. ^[https://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2005-05-26.881.0&s=section%3Adebates+speaker%3A11480#g912.0 Jenny Willott's maiden speech] TheyWorkForYou.com, 26 May 2006 4. ^My Biography, Jenny Willott MP 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11952449 |title=Lib Dems quit government to oppose tuition fees rise |date=9 December 2010 |publisher=BBC News |accessdate=9 December 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.number10.gov.uk/news/new-ministerial-appointments/ |title=Press notice: New Ministerial Appointments |date=3 February 2012 |publisher=Number10.gov.uk}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/may/08/equalities-minister-jenny-willott-male-westminster-pmqs-gender|title=Equalities minister decries male-led Westminster and 'hateful' PMQs |date=8 May 2014|accessdate=8 May 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Privy Council appointments: November 2014|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/privy-council-appointments-november-2014|website=gov.uk|publisher=United Kingdom Cabinet Office|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 9. ^https://www.stmarys.ac.uk/news/2018/06/jenny-willot-2018 10. ^http://www.theipsa.org.uk/about-us/board-and-chief-executive/ 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/article/oupww/whoswho/U45668|title=Who's Who|work=ukwhoswho.com|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2013/02/07/lib-dem-mp-martin-horwood-why-i-wasnt-present-for-the-equal-marriage-vote/|title=Lib Dem MP Martin Horwood: Why I wasn’t present for the equal marriage vote|work=PinkNews|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/welsh-mp-expenses-201213-5743505|title=Welsh MP expenses 2012/13 – Wales Online|author=Graham Henry|date=17 August 2013|work=walesonline|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/a-7a0a-Shamed-Cardiff-MP-flees-bedroom-tax-protesters|title=Morning Star :: Shamed Cardiff MP flees bedroom tax protesters|work=morningstaronline.co.uk|accessdate=17 March 2015}} External links{{Commons category|Jenny Willott}}
