WP:

Londonderry was offered the post of Lord Privy Seal in 1895 but, anxious for departmental experience, he declined. Between 1895 and 1897, he was Chairman of the London School Board. On the formation of Lord Salisbury's fourth administration, he was appointed Postmaster General. From 1897-1909 he served as honorary president of the Irish Football Association.[1][2] In August 1902 he became President of the Board of Education, and was responsible for the administration and the guiding of Balfour's controversial Education Bill through the Lords. After 1903, he held the education portfolio as Lord President of the Council.

After 1906, and the return of a Liberal government, Londonderry devoted himself to the Irish Unionist cause. He was one of the most prominent critics of the Third Home Rule Bill, and the single most vocal Unionist in the House of Lords. He was a signatory of the Ulster Covenant of September 1912, and chaired the Standing Committee of the Ulster Unionist Council. In September 1913, he presided over the Ulster Unionist Council meeting that brought about the creation of a provisional government in Ulster.
