where he was to work until 1904. However he was also deeply interested in social reform and welfare, especially the alleviation of poverty, educational and prison reform issues. He chose to pursue this work through the settlement movement
and was a resident of Toynbee Hall
from 1900, Deputy Warden from July 1904 and became Warden of Toynbee Hall from 1906–1911.

and E D Morel, who had grave doubts about the war.
Throughout the First World War and until 1920 Harvey, in the Quaker tradition, engaged personally in relief work in the war zone in France on behalf of the War Victims’ Relief Committee of the Society of Friends. But Harvey’s dilemma over support for the government as opposed to his religious beliefs surfaced when he and another Liberal Quaker MP, Arnold Stephenson Rowntree
, helped to draft the part of the Military Service Act 1916 that provided for the possibility of conscientious objectors being required to perform non-combatant duties in the army. There was disagreement among Quakers about the sort of service, if any, which conscientious objectors should be asked to do, and Harvey and Rowntree were accused of arrogating to themselves the right to specify what objectors might do and of misrepresenting to the authorities the extent to which they could speak for Quaker opinion. He also served as a member of the Pelham Committee, the body charged with trying to find suitable occupations for conscientious objectors during the War.

Harvey was however returned to Parliament for Dewsbury at the 1923 general election
when he defeated Riley in a straight fight to win by a majority of 2,256 votes. At the 1924 general election
the situation was again reversed. This time Riley won the seat back and in a three-cornered contest Harvey fell to the bottom of the poll.
he returned to his old stamping ground of Leeds. On this occasion he abandoned Leeds West where Liberal candidates had come bottom of the poll at the last three general elections, trying Leeds North instead. He was not successful, coming third in a three-way fight with his old antagonist Osbert Peake winning the seat for the Tories.
Harvey continued to support the Liberal Party, being sometime Yorkshire representative on the National Liberal Federation

Against him were Conservative and Independent rivals but Harvey won with a majority of 1,644 votes. He retained his links with Liberalism however, the party leader Sir Archie Sinclair, Ramsay Muir
and the Liberal Party Organisation all sent messages of congratulation to Harvey when he won the by-election. He held the Combined English Universities seat until the 1945 general election
when he stood down from Parliament for the last time, aged 70.
from 1934–51. Harking back to his museum work and because of his father’s gift of paintings to the nation, Harvey also served as the Chairman of the National Loan Collection Trust, the body set up to coordinate the lending of pictures to municipal and other provincial art galleries.
