At the 1868 general election Price was elected as the Member of Parliament for the borough of Tewkesbury.[3] He was re-elected in 1874[4] and at the general election in April 1880[5] but his election was declared void on 29 June 1880.[1]

Price died at the age of 44.

His son Morgan Philips Price was later a (Labour) M.P.
