 Law was again elected as an MP in the election of 1951, this time for Haltemprice, but he resigned this seat in January 1954 and in February was elevated to the House of Lords as Baron Coleraine of Haltemprice in the East Riding of the County of York.After his elevation to the peerage, he went on a two week lecture tour in the United States, following two weeks in Russia at the invitation of the Russian government.In 1950, Law published "Return from Utopia", a book in which he stated his belief that trying to use the power of the state to create any sort of Utopia is not just unattainable but positively evil, because one of the first principles to be sacrificed is the principle of freedom and individual choice.
