[1] Parker was next returned unopposed for Peterborough at the 1761 British general election on his family interest.

Lord Sandwich described him to Grenville as a very independent man and advised he should not be neglected.

Parker voted with the Opposition against the repeal of the Stamp Act on 22 February 1766.

Before the 1768 British general election he decided not to stand in favour of his son who then withdrew before the poll in return for £1000.
