The Night Westminster Glowed Neon
Few debates in Parliament ever shine as bright as the one about neon signage. But on a late evening in May 2025, Britain’s lawmakers did just that.
the formidable Ms Qureshi stood up and lit the place up with a speech defending neon sign makers. She cut through with clarity: real neon is culture, and the market is being flooded with false neon pretenders.
She declared without hesitation: £30 LED strips do not belong in the same sentence as neon craftsmanship.
Backing her up was Chris McDonald, MP for Stockton North, exterior neon signs who spoke of commissioning neon art in Teesside. There was cross-party nodding; everyone loves a glow.
The stats hit hard. Only 27 full-time neon glass benders remain in the UK. No trainees are coming through. Qureshi called for a outdoor neon signs London (visit this site) Signs Protection Act.
Enter Jim Shannon, DUP, citing growth reports, noting global neon growth at 7.5% a year. His point: there’s room for craft and commerce to thrive together.
Then came Chris Bryant, the Minister for Creative Industries. He opened with a cheeky pun, getting heckled for it in good humour. But underneath the banter was a serious nod.
He reminded MPs that neon is etched into Britain’s memory: from Piccadilly Circus and fish & chip shop fronts. He stressed neon lasts longer than LED when maintained.
Why all this talk? The danger is real: retailers blur the lines by calling LED neon. That erases heritage.
Think of it like whisky or champagne. If it’s not woven in the Hebrides, it’s not tweed.
In that chamber, the question was authenticity itself. Do we want every high street, every bedroom wall, every bar front to glow with the same plastic LED sameness?
At Smithers, we know the answer: authentic glow beats plastic glow every time.
So yes, Westminster talked neon. The outcome isn’t law yet, but the spotlight is on.
And if MPs can argue for real neon under the oak-panelled glare of the House, you can sure as hell hang one in your lounge, office, or bar.
Forget the fakes. Your space deserves the real deal, not mass-produced mediocrity.
The fight for neon is on.
