Labour MEP to Step Down

Posted by Paloma Kubiak on Nov 12, 08 04:43 PM in Local Authority

A long serving Labour European Member of Parliament is stepping down at next year's elections.

Robert Evans MEP for London was first elected as an MEP for London North West in 1994 and re-elected in 1999 and 2004.

Mr Evans cites the new European law prohibiting discrimination against disabled passengers on aeroplanes as his greatest achievement.

The Labour MEP said: "It has been an honour to serve the people of London since 1994 but there does come a time to seek new challenges.

"I am immensely proud to have played my part in improving the lives of the British people and making a difference in the European Parliament."
