At the 1918 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Monmouth in South Wales and held the seat until his death in 1934, aged 68.[2][3][4][5] At the consequent by-election, the Monmouth seat was held by the Conservatives.[6] In addition to being an MP, he was also a Forestry Commissioner from 1920–1929.[7] In 1921 he was also appointed a Mental Health Commissioner, under the terms of the Mental Deficiency Act, 1913.[8]
Forestier-Walker was created a Baronet (of Rhiwderin in the County of Monmouth)[9] in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in the 1924 King's Birthday Honours.[7] In the following year's list, he was honoured as a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE).[10] In 1934 he was created a Knight of Justice in the Venerable Order of Saint John.[11]
