Quilter was the son of the Liberal politician Sir William Quilter, 1st Baronet (1841–1911). His younger brother was the composer Roger Quilter.
He was commissioned a second-lieutenant of the Suffolk Yeomanry (The Duke of York's Own Loyal Suffolk Hussars) on 26 March 1902.[2]
He commissioned a house designed by Detmar Blow, and built in South Street, Mayfair, London, in 1902-1903. It was later the home of Lord Dunglass, the birthplace of Sir Alec Douglas-Home, and the home of Dame Barbara Cartland.[3]
He was elected at the January 1910 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Sudbury in Suffolk,[4] a constituency held by his father until 1906. He held the seat until the 1918 general election, when he did not stand again.[5]
