From 1942 to 1945 he was Deputy Director for Ground Defence in the Air Ministry. He succeeded his father in the earldom in 1949 and took his seat on the Labour benches in the House of Lords. Lucan served under Clement Attlee as Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard (Deputy Chief Whip in the House of Lords) from 1950 to 1951 and as Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations in 1951. Between 1954 and 1964 he was Chief Opposition Whip in the House of Lords.
Lord Lucan married Kaitlin Elizabeth Anne, daughter of Captain the Hon. Edward Stanley Dawson, in 1929. They had two sons and two daughters. He died in January 1964, aged 65, and was succeeded in the earldom by his eldest son John, who became famous for his sudden disappearance in 1974. The Dowager Lady Lucan died in 1985.
