HE HAD POWER OF A DICTATOR
A MAN With a Lond of
Power retired from
office this month-Admiral Sir Colin Keppel, Serjeant- at-Arms of the House of Commons.
For twenty years he has wield- ed power such as few dictators have.
He was
the only man in Britain to have a private prison --the Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament.
He was the only man who could call on the services of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to assist him in carrying out his dulies.
He was the only man who could break down doors and invade any building-and Im- prison any one who resisted. Yet there is no more courtly and gentle man alive than Sir Colin. if he had a load of power, lia had a bigger load of duties.
He was the "policeman" of the House of Commons, responsible for maintaining order among M.P.s and "strangers" alike.
The Serjeant-at-Arms was in two crises. In neither did his courtesy and calm desert him,
Snatched The Mace
The first was when an unruly Socialist M.P. snatched the Mace.
Before most people had re- covered their breath, Sir Colin was striding up the floor of the House to the rescue of the em blem of the King's authority. Twisting it firmly from the M.P.'s grasp. he calmly restored it to its place on the table.
The other crisis was when tur- bulent John McGovern had to be thrown bodily from the Chamber.
