Sir John Butterfill, MP for Bournemouth West for 25 years, has told his Association that he intends to stand down at the next election.
Speaking to his local paper, Sir John said:
"I would have stayed had there been an election last autumn and was selected to do so, by which time I would be in my 70th year. If I stayed on for five years I'd be 75 so that was probably a bit long. I've now got seven grandchildren with an eighth about to arrive at the end of this month. I'd like to see a bit more of them than I have done with my own children."
The seat has a notional Conservative majority over the LibDems of 2600.
