When his predecessor William Pinney was unseated in 1842, Hussey instead entered the British House of Commons. He was returned for Lyme Regis until 1847. Hussey served in the Somerset Militia, commanding it as colonel. He was a Deputy Lieutenant nominated for Dorsetshire and represented the county also as Justice of the Peace.

In 1853, Hussey married Julia, daughter of John Hickson. He died at Lympstone in 1894.
