[2] Hardres was returned unopposed as Tory Member of Parliament (MP) for Kent at a by-election on 13 June 1711.
In February 1712 he was involved in preparing a bill to facilitate the completion of a chapel of ease at Deal.
He was consulted on matters relating to Dover and the Cinque Ports and in March 1714, he and his fellow MP wrote a joint letter to Dover about presenting a petition for a bill to protect the port's fishing grounds.
He was returned again at the 1734 British general election but a petition was presented against him and he retired on 11 April 1735, possibly also because of gout.
