West was first elected Conservative MP for Dublin City in 1836 after the result of the 1835 general election was overturned on petition. He held the seat until the next year, when he was defeated at that year's general election. He regained the seat in 1841, but died later that year.[2][3]

He married in 1819 Elizabeth Felicia Burton, only daughter of Mr Justice Charles Burton and Anna Andrews, with whom he had a son, Charles Burton-West, and several daughters, including Anna Felicia, who married Sir Croker Barrington, 4th Baronet, and Charlotte, who married Sir Henry Stonhouse, 15th Baronet.
