Won by Con in its first election in 2024. Covers Hinckley, Earl Shilton and Barwell. Population 93,214.

A GP by background, Luke Evans has made his most distinctive parliamentary mark on the assisted dying debate, breaking with the majority of his Conservative colleagues five times in a single day during the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill's Report Stage in June 2025. His rebel votes consistently opposed amendments he apparently viewed as weakening safeguards -- including multiple votes against provisions that would have prevented voluntary starvation being used to meet terminal illness eligibility criteria, where he voted the opposite way to most Conservative MPs. His stance profile confirms this pattern: he sits notably below his party average on both end-of-life autonomy (33% vs 63%) and assisted dying safeguards (33% vs 60%), suggesting a more restrictive overall position on the bill rather than a straightforwardly pro- or anti-assisted-dying stance. Beyond Westminster, he was prominently credited with securing the £24.6 million Community Diagnostic Centre that opened in Hinckley in June 2025 -- a significant local win.

Evans participates in 78% of votes, broadly in line with Commons averages, and votes with his party 96.6% of the time outside assisted dying. His 825 contributions across 260 debates place him among the more active speakers in the House, with economy, health, and social care dominating his speech activity. He scores 100% on anti-sexual-exploitation and pro-police-powers votes, well above Conservative party averages, and 88% pro-business. He has opposed the Labour government consistently on Lords amendments to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and Pension Schemes Bill.

MP voted YesAgainst party majorityLikely whipped

Vote on New Clause 106, which sought to require women to have an in-person medical consultation before receiving abortion medication, as a safety measure. This was debated alongside New Clause 1, which would have decriminalised abortion for women, making it a free vote on conscience issues around abortion law reform.

MP voted NoAgainst party majorityLikely whipped

Vote on a package of government new clauses to the Crime and Policing Bill at Report Stage, covering measures including: criminalising organising begging for profit, stronger protections for emergency workers against racial and religious abuse, removing the limitation period in child sexual abuse cases, and new offences around internal concealment of items for criminal purposes. The large Aye majority reflects broad government support for these law and order measures.
