West was a colonel in the Parliamentary army by 1653 and served as MP for Lancashire in the Barebones Parliament.[1] In 1659 he acquired the manor of Middleton, Lancashire.[2]

Also in 1659, West was elected Member of Parliament for Lancaster in the Third Protectorate Parliament.[1] He was re-elected MP for Lancaster for the Convention Parliament in 1660.[1]

West died at the age of 58 and was buried on 7 December 1670.[2]

West's first wife Juliana died in 1666. He subsequently married Frances Kirkby, daughter of Roger Kirkby of Kirkby Ireleth.[2]
