Standing for Parliament at Lymington in 1690, Jervoise was defeated, and his petition to Parliament to investigate the election returns was rejected. However, he was elected for Stockbridge in a by-election in 1691. Jervoise did not sit in the Parliament of 1695–1698. He was elected MP for Hampshire in 1698, January 1701 and November 1701.[1]
In 1702, Jervoise contested both Hindon and Plympton Erle. Although he was elected at Plympton Erle (he was unseated on petition on 28 January 1703), he chose to contest the result at Hindon, bringing a charge of bribery against one of the successful candidates, George Morley. Morley's election was declared void, and in a by-election in November 1704, Jervoise defeated Morley.[1]
Elected MP for Hampshire again in 1705, in 1708 Jervoise stood aside for the Earl of Portland's son Viscount Woodstock. Woodstock succeeded to the earldom in 1709, and Jervoise retook the seat at the ensuing by-election. He was defeated in 1710.[1]
He married in 1691 Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Gilbert Clarke, with whom he had a son. Secondly, in 1700 he married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Sir John Stonhouse, 5th baronet of Amberden Hall, Widdington, Essex; they had a son and a daughter.[1]
The costs of repeated contests for parliamentary seats obliged him to sell the Wiltshire manor of Stratford Tony, but he retained the estates of Northfield and Weoley Park in Worcestershire, Britford in Wiltshire, and Herriard in Hampshire as well as estates in Essex obtained through his second marriage.[1]
