Orlebar was returned in a contest as a Whig Member of Parliament for Bedford at the 1727 British general election. He voted with the Administration in all recorded divisions. In 1728 the Whig members of the Bedford corporation tried to turn out their Tory recorder, Lord Bruce, by legal proceedings, and offered the prospective vacancy to Orlebar. However nothing came of it. He succeeded his cousin Richard Orlebar at Hinwick in 1733. He did not stand again, at the 1734 British general election. In 1738, he was given a place as Commissioner of excise.[2] He became a bencher of Middle Temple in 1742 and Treasurer in 1751.
