At the 1874 general election Storer was elected unopposed[4] as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Nottinghamshire South.[5] He was re-elected in 1880[6] and held the seat until the 1885 general election,[2] when the constituency was abolished by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885.

Storer died at the age of 73.
