He was reappointed to the Admiralty in Winston Churchill's war-time Coalition Government, and left the government in March 1942. He returned to office briefly in 1945, as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fuel, Light and Power in the Caretaker Government 1945 which held office from May to July that year.
