At the 1923 general election, he was an unsuccessful candidate in the King's Lynn constituency in Norfolk, coming third in the Conservative-held seat. However, in another three-way contest at the 1923 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for King's Lynn with a majority of 677 votes.
However, he lost the seat at the 1924 general election to the Conservative candidate Lord Fermoy, and did not stand for Parliament again.
He was awarded a CBE in the New Years Honours, 1920.
