Civil society minister Stuart Andrew has said he is considering his future as an MP as his parliamentary constituency is set to be broken up.
Andrew said that due changes by the Boundary Commission, his Pudsey, Horsforth and Aireborough constituency “will therefore no longer exist at the next general election”.
“This means that I am now considered to be displaced, and as a result I will need to consider what my next step will be,” he said.
“I am deeply grateful for all the support I have had over the years, and to all of those who did not support me but have still always treated me with courtesy.
“Regardless, this is an incredible constituency with so many great people and organisations that we can all be proud of.
“I will continue to do everything I can as your member of parliament until our constituency retires at the next general election.”
Andrew said it has been “an honour and a privilege” to represent Pudsey, Horsforth and Aireborough, for the last 13 years.
