Conservative and Unionist Party MP for Hinckley and Bosworth.
All five of Evans's rebel votes on 20 June 2025 concerned assisted dying — and they reveal a consistent position rather than a confused one. He backed the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Third Reading while voting for amendments requiring palliative care assessments and disability data collection, and against safeguard clauses his party largely supported. The picture is of an MP who wanted the bill to pass but with stronger monitoring built in. That puts him well outside his party: his voting record shows 88% alignment with pro-assisted-dying-access positions against a Conservative average of 25%, a 63-percentage-point gap that is his largest deviation from party norms.
Beyond that cluster, Evans is a 97% party-line voter with a 78% participation rate — broadly in line with Commons averages. He consistently votes against workers' rights measures and tax increases, and with pro-business and tough-on-crime positions. He opposed the government's recent carbon budget orders and employment tribunal time-limit extensions, in step with Conservative frontbench positions. His speech activity is high — 870 contributions across 280 debates — with health and social care his dominant topics, which reflects his background as a GP and his current role as a shadow health minister. He has publicly challenged NHS rationing of hospital referrals and played a visible role in securing a £24.6 million Community Diagnostic Centre for Hinckley.
Local news over the past 90 days skews neutral to slightly negative on planning and crime issues, with transport coverage showing a modestly positive tone — consistent with his long-running A5 infrastructure campaign. He holds no current committee positions. Full voting and speech data are available; news sentiment data covers the past 90 days only.
Dr Luke Evans is the Conservative MP for Hinckley and Bosworth, and has been an MP continually since 12 December 2019. He currently undertakes the role of Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Health and Social Care).
