Harland lived at Sutton Hall in Yorkshire, and was a cousin of George Eden, 1st Earl of Auckland. He stood in Durham at the 1832 UK general election and was elected as a Whig. He focused on supporting reforms to the church, repeal of many taxes, including the window tax and taxes on luxuries. He opposed the introduction of secret ballots or shortening Parliamentary terms.^[2]

Harland was re-elected at the 1835 and 1837 UK general elections, and stood down in 1841.^[2]
