A master engraver, Evans became involved in the Labour movement in the 1920s, and was elected to Islington Borough Council in 1936.[2] In March 1946 he was elected to the London County Council to represent Islington West.[3]

He was first elected to Parliament at a by-election in 1947, when the Labour Member of Parliament for Islington West, Frederick Montague, was elevated to the peerage as Baron Amwell.[4][5]

The Islington West constituency was abolished for the 1950 general election, when Evans was elected in the new Islington South West constituency.[6] He held the seat until he retired from the House of Commons at the 1970 general election.[7]
