He gained credentials as a journalist for the
Westminster Gazette and in July 1919 entered Russia, accompanied by
William Thomas Goode. Whilst the Russian government invited Goode to continue to Moscow, Keeling remained stranded at
Velikie Luki. He published his story as
Adventures in Turkey and Russia in 1924. After the war, he entered business: he was General Manager of the
Turkish Petroleum Company, a member of
Lloyd's of London and a director of the Wallsend and Hebburn Coal Company. The Prime Minister, as the Minister responsible for the work of the
Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, who draft all UK Government legislation, replied that: "I have considered the memorandum with interest.... The suggestion made is, in effect, that a Bill amending or applying an existing enactment by reference should contain a Schedule setting out the enactment as it will read when amended by the Bill.... This method is not, I understand, put forward as a panacea to be used in all cases.... There are, however, undoubtedly some cases where the method suggested by the memorandum would be both practicable and advantageous; and I have instructed the Parliamentary Counsel to proceed experimentally on the lines suggested in suitable cases". From 1945 to 1946, Keeling served as
Mayor of Westminster. In 1952 he was
knighted. Keeling held the Twickenham seat until his death in 1954. The resulting
by-election in January 1955 was won by the Conservative candidate,
Gresham Cooke. ==References==
