In 1990, he became the deputy Conservative group leader, before standing down as a councillor in 1991.

1997

With the Conservative Party not winning a single seat in Wales at the general election of 1997, Evans was drafted onto the frontbench by former prime minister John Major as a spokesman on Welsh Affairs.

2001

He became a member of the Shadow Cabinet under Iain Duncan Smith as the Shadow Secretary of State for Wales from 2001 to 2003.

He had publicly criticised the government for not having a dedicated Secretary of State for Wales in a cabinet post, so when the new Conservative leader Michael Howard decided to take the role outside of the Shadow Cabinet, Evans chose to return to the backbenches.

He has since been supportive of Leave Means Leave, a Eurosceptic campaign group and backed Boris Johnson for Prime Minister.

He has however since refrained from campaigning on issues such as Brexit in order to fulfill his role as one of the deputy speakers.

This was the first time the three Deputy Speakers had been elected by secret ballot of all MPs. Evans supported Brexit in the 2016 European Union referendum.

Evans is a supporter of the proposal to make 23 June a public holiday in the United Kingdom, to be known as British Independence Day.

Following a Parliamentary debate on the topic, the announcement from the UK government in October 2016 to not proceed with the holiday at present, he said it was "a shame the government has made this decision, this is an absolute belter of an idea."
