Perkins was an officer in the Volunteer Force, serving in the Hampshire Regiment where he was lieutenant-colonel in command of the 2nd volunteer battalion, and held the honorary rank of colonel.

He was also appointed a captain in the Reserve on 29 June 1887, from which he resigned on 22 November 1902.^[4]

At the 1918 general election, he unsuccessfully contested the two-seat Southampton constituency, when both seats were won by Coalition Liberals.^[5] At the 1922 general election, when the coalition government had been dissolved, Perkins and the other Conservative candidate Lord Apsley won both seats, defeating the Liberal incumbents.^[5] They held the seats until the 1929 general election, which neither Perkins nor Apsley contested.^[5]

Perkins was knighted in the Dissolution Honours on 12 July 1929,^[1] for political and public services.^[6]
