After boundary changes in 1983, Watts defeated Joan Lestor, the former Labour MP for Eton and Slough, to win the new constituency of Slough. John Watts decided not to contest the Slough seat at 1997 General Election due to unfavourable boundary changes and contested Reading East where the sitting Conservative MP was retiring; however, he was defeated in Reading East by Jane Griffiths in 1997.

Watts died in September 2016 at the age of 69.[1]
