He was educated at Winchester College and Brasenose College, Oxford. Jolliffe was elected to the House of Commons for Petersfield in 1768, a seat controlled by his father, who died in 1771 leaving him a sitting patron. He held it until 1802.〔 He was a Lord of Trade from 1772 to 1779 and Lord of Admiralty during 1783.〔() History of Parliament Online article.〕 He bought the lease for his residence on King Street in 1772 for what he called "very cheap," but Edward Gibbon described the place as "excellent." After his death, his son Hylton sold it to Henry Francis Greville, who opened it as the Argyll Rooms.〔"(The Argyll Rooms, Little Argyll Street )" in the ''Survey of London: Volumes 31 and 32'', originally published by London County Council, London, 1963.
