Donald was elected to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in the 1918 general election for the Belfast Victoria constituency and served as MP until the constituency's abolition in 1922.[1] Donald was elected as one of the so-called 'Labour Unionists' of the Ulster Unionist Labour Association.[2] He was secretary of this group although as an MP for both Belfast Victoria and Belfast East in the Parliament of Northern Ireland (1921–1925) he was effectively an Ulster Unionist Party representative.[3]
