Sir Michael says it has been 'the honour of my life' to serve the town he was born in.
Sir Michael was born in Northampton and has always lived and worked there, having been a barrister for 17 years before being first elected to Parliament
The former attorney general has represented the constituency since 2010, and won the seat with a majority of 5,500 in 2019. Sir Michael is the second Conservative Northamptonshire MP to announce he is not seeking re-election, after Daventry MP Chris Heaton-Harris said he had no plans to contest his seat earlier this month.
He said: "I think records indicate I am the first Northampton MP of any part to have been appointed to Cabinet in 100 years."
