Laura Jean Moffatt (born 9 April 1954) is a politician in the United Kingdom. She is Labour Party member of Parliament for Crawley, and was first elected in 1997, after boundary changes led to most of the rural parts of the constituency being removed to neighbouring constituencies. She was also re-elected in 2001 and 2005, although on the latter occasion she had the smallest majority in the country at a mere 37 votes. She had previously challenged the seat in the 1992 general election, but lost out to Nicholas Soames.
Moffat had previously been Mayor of Crawley and a long-serving member on Crawley Borough Council. A fully trained General Nurse Laura has a husband, Colin, and three adult children, Russell, Alistair and Edward. One role she has undertaken as a Member of Parliament is that of PPS to Lord Falconer, Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs (2003 - present).
