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:
“Every community is an association of some kind and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
