He was returned again in 1864 as a member for Devizes, which seat he retained until 1885. Bateson served as a Junior Lord of the TreasuryinLord Derby's short-lived 1852 protectionist government.
He had succeeded to his father's baronetcy following his death in 1863. In 1885 he was created Baron Deramore, of Belvoir, in the County of Down in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
