Personal Life
She married Colin Moffatt in 1975 in Crawley and they have three grown up sons, Russell, Alistair and Edward. She lives in the Broadfield area of the town.
She has a tattoo on her left foot of a Labour rose with the number '37' in order to remind her of her slim majority.
In May 2009, Moffatt made the news during the MPs' expenses row as one of the most responsible members of parliament even after taking into consideration the small size of her constituency. Once giving up her flat in London because she said that the "annual cost did not sit comfortably with me", in her blog she writes: "I never travel first class when commuting and since getting rid of my flat I more often sleep on a camp bed in my office when the house sits late … and have only made one claim for personal goods in 2007/08, under £20, I think, to replace some towels."
Moffatt may have been induced into giving up the flat by a report in the Daily Mail in Nov 2007 ridiculing her need for London accommodation because she felt unsafe having been flashed on two occasions on a late night train.
