He was commissioned in 1900 as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 1st Newcastle upon Tyne (Western division, Royal Garrison Artillery) Volunteers[5] and later served as a lieutenant in the 2nd Royal Bucks Regiment of Yeomanry[6] and as a Justice of the Peace for Buckinghamshire.[6] He was elected at a by-election in January 1897 as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Salisbury, following the resignation of the Conservative MP Edward Hulse.[7] He did not contest Salisbury at the 1900 general election,[3] when he was elected as the MP for Hackney Central.[8] He was defeated at the 1906 general election,[9] and did not stand again.
