He was elected at the 1812 general election as a member of parliament (MP) for Lincoln,[6] and held the seat until the 1818 general election,[1] when he was returned for Great Grimsby.[7] He held that seat until the 1820 general election,[2] when was returned for Tavistock,[8] but he resigned his seat two months later, in May 1820,[3] by taking the Chiltern Hundreds.

Fazakerley returned to the Commons after a six-year absence when he was returned at the 1826 general election as MP for Lincoln.[9] He did not contest the seat at the 1830 election, but was returned at a by-election in 1830 as MP for the City of Peterborough.[10] He sat for Peterborough until the 1841 election,[4] when he retired from Parliament.[11]
