His political career was marked by his appointment as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty from 1886 to 1892, where he played a crucial role in naval administration and policy-making.

His legacy includes not only his impact on Liverpool's commercial growth but also his philanthropic efforts, which benefited various local institutions and charities.
