Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use Australian English John Evans, Baron Evans of Parkside (19 October 1930, Belfast – 5 March 2016, London)[1] was a British politician who was a Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP).

In 1959 he married Joan (nee Slater), and is survived by her and their children, David, Judith and Alan.

A former shipyard worker and trade unionist, he served as a member of Hebburn urban district council from 1962 until 1974 (of which he was chairman from 1973 to 1974) and South Tyneside council from 1973 to 1974.

Evans was elected to Parliament in the February 1974 general election for the Newton constituency, which he represented until it was abolished for the 1983 election. He then served as MP for the new St Helens North constituency, which partially replaced Newton, until he stood down at the 1997 election, being succeeded by David Watts. On 10 June 1997 he was created a life peer as Baron Evans of Parkside, of St Helens in the County of Merseyside.[2]

Evans also served as a member of the European Parliament, from 1975 until 1978.
