| Description | The Ulster Unionist Party's sole remaining MP has ruled herself out of the race for the party leadership.
Lady Sylvia Hermon, the MP for North Down, said she had decided not to go forward in the contest to succeed David Trimble.
Lady Hermon cited family commitments - her husband, Sir John, suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
She regretted the disappointment her decision would cause to many people who had encouraged her to go forward.
In a statement released on Tuesday evening, Lady Hermon paid tribute to all those who had supported her. |
