At the Northern Ireland Assembly election, 1973, Pollock was elected in Mid Ulster, but by the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention in 1975, he had joined the Unionist Party of Northern Ireland split and lost his seat.[2]

In his spare time, Pollock enjoyed playing football and table tennis, and was active in the Presbyterian Church.[1]
