William was the son of the Whig peer and barrister Lord Campbell and Baroness Stratheden. William's father became Palmerston's Lord Chancellor after the 1859 election.
William only made one speech in the Commons , a lengthy one criticising the 1860 Reform Bill as inadequate.
William succeeded his mother in 1860 and went to the Lords. The Conservatives captured his seat in the by-election and it was lost to the Liberals until 1906. He succeeded his father as Baron Stratheden in 1861.
He died in 1893 aged 68.
