Denis Michael Keegan (26 January 1924 – 9 October 1993) was a British barrister and company manager who served a single term as a Conservative Party Member of Parliament.
In 1944 he travelled to the UK from Canada to join the Fleet Air Arm as a pilot,[3] with a petty officer rank.
After leaving the Fleet Air Arm, Keegan trained in the law and in 1950 was called to the Bar by Gray's Inn.
However Keegan was optimistic, pointing to Conservative successes in municipal elections in which they had been only two votes behind Labour across the division.
[5] Keegan made his maiden speech in a debate on capital punishment in March 1956, supporting Sydney Silverman's attempt to abolish hanging.
[3] Keegan also became involved in business, and was made Director of the Radio and Television Retailers' Association while serving as an MP.
He led a delegation on behalf of the association to call on the Board of Trade to remove restrictions on hire purchase agreements.
[3] After leaving Parliament, Keegan pressed the Government for an early decision on which line standards to adopt for colour television.
