Another Conservative MP has said he will not be standing at the next general election.
Chris Skidmore, the MP for Kingswood, said in a statement"there has been no greater honour in my life" than to represent the constituency, in southwest England.
"With no alternative seat, I have decided that I do not wish to fight at another constituency elsewhere in the region or country, especially with a very young family who deserve to see more of their father in their lives".He said now wants to focus his career on the UK's commitment to Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 - for which he was responsible for legislating and signing into law, in his role as cabinet member for energy and clean growth.
