Stevenage MP Stephen McPartland has announced that he will not be standing at the next General Election.

Mr McPartland MP posted a message on his official Twitter account on Monday, (February 13) revealing a letter he sent to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirming he would not be seeking re-election.

In the letter to PM Mr McPartland MP said: "It has been the biggest honour of my life to serve as the member of Parliament for Stevenage since 2010, but after much soul-searching, I have decided not to seek reselection in order to take up new opportunities outside of politics."
