Loveys was educated at Lancing College but had no interest in a further academic career, as he had a job waiting for him on the 500-acre (2.0 km2) family farm. He built up a herd of pedigreeAberdeen Angus cattle.[1]
Loveys married Muriel Helen Prior in 1944, and they had three children.[1]
In 1953, Loveys was made Chairman of Chichester Conservative Association, and elected to West Sussex County Council.[1] On the council he chaired the Agricultural Education Committee.[1] When Lancelot Joynson-Hicks, MP for Chichester, inherited a peerage in 1958, Loveys was selected from 71 applicants to fight the byelection to replace him.[1] The selection was somewhat controversial and some members of the Conservative Association were reported to be looking for an independent candidate to support instead, but such a candidate could not be found and Loveys duly won the seat.
In Parliament Loveys was not a prominent member. He was Honorary Secretary of the House of Commons Motor Club, and also had his farming experience acknowledged in the horticulture sub-committee of the Conservative private members' committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.[1] He had already announced his retirement when he died at his home, near Bognor Regis, on 7 March 1969, aged 48.[1]
