Hall first stood for Parliament without success in Grimsby in 1950 and Fulham East in 1951.[3] He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Wycombe at a by-election in November 1952.[1] Hall served as an opposition spokesman on Treasury, economic affairs and trade until October 1965.[3] He was an executive member of the 1922 Committee from 1964 to 1966 and vice-chairman of the Conservative parliamentary finance committee from 1965.[3]
