He was elected as member of parliament (MP) for Hastings in East Sussex at a by-election in 1937. He held the seat until the 1945 general election, when he stood down from Parliament. During The Great Depression Hely-Hutchinson caused some controversy when he remarked that the long-term unemployed should lose the right to vote.

He was married to Melita Keppel, daughter of Admiral Sir Colin Richard Keppel.
