He was elected to the Wairau electorate in the 1922 general election, but was defeated in 1928.[1] He was elected as Mayor of Blenheim and served from 1945 to 1950.[2]
In 1935, he was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal.[3]
In the 1950 King's Birthday Honours, Girling was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for public services, especially in the Marlborough provincial district.[4] He was appointed to the Legislative Council on 22 June 1950 as a member of the so-called suicide squad to vote for its abolition.[5]
Girling died in 1973 and was buried at Omaka Cemetery, Blenheim.[6]
