Dr Luke Evans is the Conservative MP for Bosworth, having first been elected to Parliament in 2019 with a majority of 26,278.
The Bosworth constituency is found in the west of Leicestershire, and to the west of Leicester itself. It is a largely rural seat which includes the small market towns of Hinckley, Earl Shilton and Market Bosworth. Historically this was a mining area, which was once represented by the Labour MP, boss of the Tote, and friend of the Queen Mother, Woodrow Wyatt. Since 1970 however, Bosworth has become a safe seat for the Conservatives.
Dr Evans was appointed parliamentary private secretary at the department of business, energy and industrial strategy in October 2022.
Born in 1982, Dr Luke Evans was educated at the University of Birmingham. He worked as a GP before being elected to Parliament, and also taught anatomy at the University of Birmingham.
According to the Register of Members Interests, Evans remains a registered self employed GP.
Dr Luke Evan’s father, brothers, and his wife are also all doctors. His mother was a nurse.
Well set up for a career in politics, Evans is a previous British public speaking champion.
He used to play rugby for many years. He also enjoys singing and previously sung in a competitive Barbershop chorus.
Evans supported Leave in the 2016 Brexit referendum.
Soon after being elected to Parliament, Evans attempted to bring in a bill in relation to digitally altered body images. As part of a mental health initiative, he called for the media and advertisers to clearly label images that had been digitally altered.
He is a member of the All Party Parliamentary Groups on the East Midlands, and Health.
