He was once again Under-Secretary of State for Scotland from 1941 to 1942.

On 18 May 1953 his claim to the earldom of Dundee was accepted by the Committee for Privileges of House of Lords. On 30 July 1954 he was created Baron Glassary, of Glassary in the County of Argyll, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, giving him an automatic seat in the House of Lords (not guaranteed by his Scottish peerages).
