As a peer he was anti-Catholic and seceded from the Tory party when Peel gave way to the Catholic claims. Being a member of the Grey cabinet he supported the Reform Bill, but he was alone in dissenting from their decision, 8 May 1832, to resign if the King would not give them powers to make peers at once (Trevelyan, Lord Grey of the Reform Bill, page 339). He resigned in May 1834, joined Peel as one of the new Conservative party and became leader of the Protectionists. Lord Beauvale wrote to Lady Palmerston from Toplitz, 23 June 1841: "Sir John Courcy says the Queen will send en cas de besoin for the Duke of Richmond" (Lady Airlie, Lady Palmerston and her Times, volume ii, page 63). In January 1842 he declined Peel's offer to appoint him Lord Privy Seal (Parker, Sir Robert Peel, volume ii, page 519).
