CareerMaitland was a reporter for the Fleet Street News Agency, the Blackheath and District Reporter, and a columnist for the Sunday Express (1967–91). In 1983 she was founder and thereafter chairman of Families for Defence, and from 1992 was President of the Defence and Security Forum. In 1998 she became a contributor to the Daily Mail. PoliticsIn the mid-1980s, Maitland formed the campaigning group, Women & Families for Defence, which aimed to counter the protests against the deployment of American Cruise missiles on British soil and to oppose the Greenham Common Peace Camp. At the 1987 General Election, Maitland was the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate at Bethnal Green and Stepney, but was unsuccessful. Lady Olga Maitland subsequently became Member of Parliament for Sutton and Cheam from 1992 to the 1997 General Election that removed the Conservative Party from government when she lost to Liberal Democrat Paul Burstow. She unsuccessfully fought the seat again in 2001. During her time as an MP at Westminster Olga Maitland was a member of the Parliamentary Select Committees for Education, Health and Procedures, Northern Ireland, Defence & Foreign Affairs, and was sometime secretary to the Conservative Backbench Committee. She was also a member of the Yugoslav Parliamentary Group.

In 1997, Maitland reported to MI5 that a Russian journalist and spy, Yuri Sagaydak, tried to recruit her. Sagaydak was exposed and sent back to the USSR.[https://www.questia.com/newspaper/1G1-95952543/my-old-from-friend-the-kgb-spy] MarriageOn 19 April 1969, she married Robin William Patrick Hamilton Hay, M.A., LL.B., a barrister who later became a Crown Court Recorder.
