Richard Howitt (politician)

Last updated

It is very sad that our government is opposing this much-needed help for foodbanks on the basis that it is a national responsibility, when in reality it has no intention of providing the help itself. The only conclusion is that Conservative anti-European ideology is being put before the needs of the most destitute and deprived in our society. [7]

Howitt was a member of the Labour Party's National Policy Forum between 1994 and 2016. [4] He supported Owen Smith in the 2016 Labour Party leadership election. [8]

In September 2016, Howitt announced his resignation from the European Parliament to become chief executive of the International Integrated Reporting Council. The Labour candidate next on the party list from the 2014 European Elections, Alex Mayer, replaced him as MEP. [9] [10]

In May 2021, he was elected as a member of Cambridgeshire County Council. He is Chair of the Adults and Health Committee. [11]
