Initially a Liberal, he left the party over Irish Home Rule and later held office as Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms from 1895 to 1905 in the Unionist administrations headed by Lord Salisbury and Arthur Balfour.Whilst on a hunting expedition with Lord John Hervey and Mr Coore he visited Astakos.They returned with the support of HMS Chanticleer which remained out of sight while the release of Mr Coore was negotiated.[4] At the 1880 general election he was returned for Berwick-upon-Tweed,[5] which he represented until he succeeded his father in the barony on 30 June 1880 and entered the House of Lords.When Lord Salisbury formed his last administration in 1895, Belper was sworn of the Privy Council[6] and appointed Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms,[7] a post he held until the fall of the government in 1905, the last three years under the premiership of Arthur Balfour.
