Corraine “Corri” Wilson (born 11 April 1965) is a Scottish National Party politician who was the Member of Parliament for Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock from 2015–2017.
Wilson became a South Ayrshire Councillor in the 2012 local elections for the ward of Ayr East. She was elected to the British Parliament in the 2015 general election.
Wilson worked in the Civil Service for 20 years after leaving school. She went on to study Psychology at the University of the West of Scotland and set up her own business and events company called “Caledonii Resources” in April 2012 just before being elected to serve as a Councillor in Ayr East in the 2012 South Ayrshire Council election.
From the period of 1 June 2015 to 31 May 2016, the statement, Wilson claimed a total of £94,545.41 in public expenses, which was the 7th highest amount of any MP in the United Kingdom that year.
In 2016, Wilson and Chic Brodie, an 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, well in excess of Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority guidelines. The expenses were not recorded within Corri Wilson’s Register of Members’ Interests. Caledonii Resources was later dissolved in May 2017.
In 2016, Wilson was appointed as disabilities spokesperson for the SNP. During Wilson’s time on the Welfare Reform and Work Bill she argued against the benefit cap, benefit sanctions and the removal of poverty targets.
