Amery was an advocate of Imperial unity, seeing the British Empire as a force for justice and progress in the world.

He was chief correspondent for The Times during the 1899-1902 Boer War and remained on the staff of that paper until 1909. Entering Parliament in 1911, Amery was made a privy councillor in 1922. Apart from a period as First Lord of the Admiralty, he spent the rest of his career as a minister in imperial departments. In 1925, he created the Dominions Office, which later became the Commonwealth Relations Office. He was also Secretary of State for India and Burma (1940-5).
