Diana Paulette Wallis, FCIL (born 28 June 1954[1] in Hitchin, Hertfordshire) is a British former Liberal Democrat Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Yorkshire and the Humber. Wallis was first elected in 1999 and re-elected in 2004 and in 2009.[2] She resigned her seat in January 2012 and went on to pursue academic, legal and mediation-related activities.
On 6 September 2013, Wallis was elected President of the European Law Institute, an independent non-profit organisation established to initiate, conduct and facilitate research, make recommendations and provide practical guidance in the field of European legal development with a goal of enhancing the European legal integration.[3] She was re-elected in 2015 for a second term, which lasted until 2017.
Wallis contested Haltemprice and Howden as a Yorkshire Party candidate in the 2015 and 2017 UK General Elections[4] and subsequently left that party in March 2019.[5]
She later joined Change UK[6] and was selected as the lead candidate for Yorkshire and the Humber at the 2019 European Parliament elections.[7][8]
