Political Stances
Evans was generally loyal in his voting behaviour in the House of Commons although he did twice rebel against the whip on minor technical issues. He supported the ending of capital punishment on a free vote in 1956. When S. O. Davies introduced the Government of Wales Bill in 1955 which would have created a devolved Welsh Parliament, Evans questioned whether the Welsh people supported it, and went on to vote against the Bill making any progress.

Famous quotes containing the word political:
“The horror of Gandhi’s murder lies not in the political motives behind it or in its consequences for Indian policy or for the future of non-violence; the horror lies simply in the fact that any man could look into the face of this extraordinary person and deliberately pull a trigger.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
