At the 1929 general election, he unsuccessfully contested the safe Labour-held seat of Barnsley, where he came third with only 15% of the votes.

At the 1931 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament for Southampton, and held the seat until his defeat at the 1945 general election. In the House of Commons, he was chair of the Parliamentary Monetary Committee from 1934 to 1944.
