Thomson was elected as member of parliament (MP) for Aberdeen South at a by-election in May 1935[2] following the death of his father, who had held the seat for the Conservative party and from whom he also inherited the baronetcy. He held the seat until he "resigned" on 4 November 1946 by taking the Chiltern Hundreds.[3]
