It was good to get an update on the second phase, including an overview of the plans being developed to bring additional services into the site as part of the second phase. As ever, I'll keep you updated when I have more information. 3/3

As promised, I've had another follow-up meeting with the local NHS about the hospital change in the centre of Hinckley. Encouragingly, the project is still progressing; 1/3

Well done to everyone at the school for their efforts in making The Nest a reality, and to the parents and PTA who kindly donated items and helped with funds! 2/2

On Tuesday I had the pleasure of visiting St. Peter's Catholic Primary School in Earl Shilton to open The Nest, a new inclusion room for pupils 🏫 It was good to meet the new Headteacher, Mrs Minford, and Mrs Atkins and to hear how pupils are already using the room. 1/2

While I am no longer Shadow Health Minister, primary care and, for example, the impact of the rise in business rates and employers’ National Insurance on the sector, remains a key concern and is something I’ll continue to raise both locally and in Westminster. 2/2

Farmers need certainty, stability and a Government that understands the consequences of its decisions. Unfortunately, the woeful handling of the application process for SFI26 delivered the opposite. I joined over 100 Conservatives MPs in an open letter to the Defra Secretary to call for answers.

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 27/09/2026

It was a pleasure to see how excited pupils were for to use the new Forest School, and how much everyone enjoyed the colour run - I think some of the adults ended up with more paint on them than the children! 🎨

000

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 27/09/2026

On Friday afternoon I had the privilege of opening the Forest School at Congerstone Primary School. After the opening, pupils and parents took part in an annual colour run to raise funds for the Luca Guintoli Foundation - a cause close the hearts of everyone at the school.

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 26/09/2026

I've written to Defra with a set of questions, including some that farmers have raised with me. The Government must give answers and, most importantly, provide the clarity, transparency and long-term commitment that farmers need.

000

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 26/09/2026

Many farmers locally have written to me about the poor handling of the Sustainable Farming Incentive scheme, and their concerns about missing out on this support. The SFI is important to so many farmers, but the handling of the application process has been woeful.

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 17/09/2026

This is despite 87% voting against it in the Government's OWN consultation! I'm working with other local Conservative MPs and Council Leaders to oppose these changes and scrutinise every stage of the process. 2/2

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 17/09/2026

At last month's protest against Labour's changes to our Local Government system, I spoke to the media about why residents are concerned about the proposals. Labour has gone against the express wishes of our communities by forcing through the expansion of Leicester City. 1/2

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 15/09/2026

I am pleased to see the media have picked up the delivery of our petition against the expansion of the Leicester City boundary. With over 40,000 signatures and counting, local people have sent a clear message. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was pleased, the Government under Starmer had agreed to host a Men & Boys Summit to address their specific issues. Alas, with all the changes in Government, it hasn't yet happened. I will continue to follow this up and keep the pressure on for it to take place 👇

Thank you to Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council, Fosse 107 and all the acts, exhibitors, volunteers and visitors who made the Burbage Common Open Day a real success on what turned out to be (thankfully!) a beautiful sunny day! Well done!

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" Churchill Well done to the Hinckley Air Cadets and the entire community who came out to support the Battle of Britain commemoration today. Honoured to have addressed the event - we will remember them.

Today the House of Commons voted on the Assisted Dying Bill: 270 MPs voted in favour, and 286 voted against - meaning that the Bill fell by 16 votes I voted for. As a majority voted against, the Bill will now fall. You can read my response here: www.facebook.com/share/p/196C...

I know many people are concerned about the proliferation of vape shops and barbershops in Hinckley and Bosworth, and this is something I've been in contact with our police, Trading Standards at Leicestershire County Council, and other local businesses about. 2/3

I have signed a joint letter to the Prime Minister urging him to scrap the Family Farm Tax 🚜 Between July 2024 and July 2025, over 6,300 agricultural businesses ceased trading. This is a record number for rural business closures, and highlights why the new PM must rethink this devastating tax.

My speech at the time paying tribute to the Queen included a beautiful poem written by Joanne Boyle - which to me, captures how the British felt about the Queen perfectly... See if you agree...

Local Government reorganisation

000

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 07/09/2026

This is only happening because of public dissatisfaction, the threat of legal challenges, and pressure from MPs and councillors alike who have fought against these plans. Rest assured, my Conservative colleagues and I will continue to do all we can to oppose the imposition. 2/3

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 07/09/2026

🚨The pressure is working! 🚨 This afternoon, the Government announced a full review of its ill-thought-out, poorly considered local government reorganisation, which would see the Leicester City boundary expanded. 1/3

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 07/09/2026

Well, our message is clear: people in Leicestershire do not want these changes. Now that Parliament is back in session, I'll be looking to continue to raise our concerns and push for concessions. 2/2

000

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 07/09/2026

Many people across our area are, like me, concerned about the effects of the Local Government reorganisation in Leicestershire. People are rightly asking: what will Andy Burnham do about this? Our new Prime Minister says he will listen to what the public says. 1/2

Thank you to everyone at 1st Newbold Verdon Scouts, and to all the stallholders and exhibitors who worked so hard to make the day such a success. Events like this show what a great community we have here in Newbold Verdon. 2/2

This afternoon I joined the 1st Newbold Verdon Scout Gala for their annual event. There was plenty to see and do, including the dog show, classic cars, stalls, games and entertainment. I was delighted to be asked to present the prizes for the dog show & draw the raffle! 1/2

While I'm sad to leave the Health team, I'm excited to return to the energy sector given the far-reaching impact it has on household bills, business growth and national security and prosperity. 3/3

This is a Department I am pleased to return to, having worked throughout the energy crisis in 2022 as PPS to the Energy Secretary in 2022 - 2023. 2/3

Pleased to share, I've been asked to step up from Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health and Social Care... To Shadow Minister of State for Energy Security! 1/3

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 02/09/2026

Yesterday I urged the new Prime Minister to commit to an immediate review of the changes, as suggested by the health watchdog. While Andy Burnham has agreed to look, we need him to take action. 3/3

000

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 02/09/2026

But these changes are not just flawed; they have been dangerous. A report by the Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB) cites patient harms and delays to care, including delays to cancer diagnoses and, most worryingly, patient deaths. 2/3

100

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 02/09/2026

The Government's own health watchdog has linked two deaths to Labour's reforms on how GPs refer patients to specialists. Doctors, patients and I warned the Govt that its changes and bounce-back target of 25% restricted access to healthcare. Our concerns were dismissed. 1/3

Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband, the new Foreign Secretary, need to be honest about their plans for the Chagos Islands. 2/2

110

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 01/09/2026

Earlier today I asked a simple question: is the deal to give away the Chagos Islands dead? The response was: 'Funding for the Treaty will be provided for in the existing spending review settlements.' If the deal is dead, why is the Government allocating funding for it? 1/2

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 31/08/2026

Tomorrow I have a question in the Commons to the Foreign Secretary, and will be seeking assurances from the new Government that they will NOT move forward with this costly arrangement. 2/2

000

Dr Luke Evans MP @drlukeevans.org.uk · 31/08/2026

In April, we heard the deal to hand over the Chagos Islands had been 'shelved' and legislation on the agreement not carried through to this Parliament: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... There is now talk of Andy Burnham resurrecting the deal during a meeting at the UN in September. 1/2
