In 1834 he was elected for Thirsk. He supported the premiership of Lord Melbourne but he was not a radical liberal. Such Liberal measures as shortening parliaments or adopting voting by ballot did not enjoy his support.[1] Crompton was created a baronet, of Wood End, Yorkshire, on 21 July 1838.[4][5] He retired as member for Thirsk in 1841 when he returned to his residence there called Wood End.[1]
