He was first elected for East Perthshire at the January 1910 general election, and held the seat until the constituency was abolished in boundary changes for the 1918 general election.[2]
He was then returned unopposed for the similar constituency of Perth as a supporter of David Lloyd George's coalition government. He retired from the House of Commons at the 1922 general election.[3]
He is buried in Brookwood Cemetery.
