In 1946 Davies was raised to the peerage as Baron Darwen, of Heys-in-Bowland in the West Riding of the County of York. He served as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1949 to 1950 in the Labour government of Clement Attlee. Lord Darwen married Mary Kathleen, daughter of Alfred Kemp Brown, in 1914. He died in December 1950, aged 65, and was succeeded in the barony by his son Cedric.
