MP George Eustice to stand down at next general election
He says it's been a 'difficult decision'
George Eustice, the MP for Camborne and Redruth, has announced he's standing down at the next General Election.
The 51 year old has been the MP there since 2010, and was Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs under Boris Johnson's premiership.
In a statement, Mr Eustice said, "By the time of the next election, I will have been in politics for 25 years, including almost 15 years as a Member of Parliament. I will also be 53 and I want the opportunity to do a final career outside politics so have decided not to seek re-election.
"This has been a difficult decision for me. I feel a deep bond to the area where my family have lived for over four hundred years and it has been an honour to represent my home towns, but it is important that the Conservatives are able to select a new candidate in good time.
"There are still almost two years left of the current parliament and I will be doing my utmost throughout that time to help my constituents and deliver for Cornwall."
