Philipps was re-elected in Southampton at both the January 1910 and December 1910 general elections, along with his fellow Liberal William Dudley Ward. He served in 1915 as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions, and was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1917. During the 1918 general election, both Philipps and Ward were re-elected as Coalition Liberals, i.e. as holders of the "coalition coupon", a sent to parliamentary candidates at the 1918 election endorsing them as official representatives of the Coalition Government. However, Philipps and Ward were both defeated at the 1922 general election by Conservative Party candidates, and neither stood again. Pembroke Castle In 1928 Philipps purchased Pembroke Castle and commenced an extensive programme of restoration and rebuilding. Since his death, the castle has been managed jointly by the Philipps family and Pembroke town council. Personal life In 1891 he married Marian Isobel, a daughter of James Buchan Mirrlees, of Glasgow.
