In 1903 Wilson was elected to Sheffield City Council for the Darnall ward, a seat he held until 1924. He became a Justice of the Peace in 1907. He also joined the National Anti-Gambling League, coming to chair it by the early 1920s. From 1919 until 1922 Wilson was the Labour group leader on Sheffield City Council. At the 1922 general election, Wilson was elected MP for Sheffield Attercliffe. He held the seat until the 1931 general election, when he narrowly lost to the Conservative Party candidate Cecil Frederick Pike. However, he retook the seat at the 1935 general election. Wilson resigned on 7 February 1944 due to ill health, and died in November the following year in Westminster aged 83. References
