He was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Belfast South in a 1952 by-election, and served until his death in 1963. In 1959 while leader of the UUP Westminster MP's, he became involved in the row over Catholic membership of the UUP when he supported the idea in a letter to the party leader.[1]

He served as Lieutenant-Governor of Malta, 1943–1952 and as a member of the Privy Council from 1962.[2]
