He was a Liberal who supported the Coalition government led by Lloyd George. At the 1923 general election, following Liberal unification, he stood as the official Liberal candidate. However, he lost his seat to an Independent Liberal candidate, Leif Jones. After that election concluded, he supported Winston Churchill's efforts to revive the Conservative/Liberal coalition. He fought the 1924 general election as a Constitutionalist and regained his seat from Leif Jones. After the 1924 election, he took the Conservative whip. In 1929, standing as a Conservative, he lost the Camborne seat again to Jones.
