The Day Westminster Debated Static and Glow
On paper it reads like satire: in June 1939, just months before Britain plunged into war, MPs in Westminster were arguing about neon signs.
the outspoken Mr. Gallacher, stood up and asked the Postmaster-General a peculiar but pressing question. How many complaints had rolled in about wireless sets being ruined by neon signage?
The figure was no joke: around a thousand complaints in 1938 alone.
Imagine it: the soundtrack of Britain in 1938, interrupted not by enemy bombers but by shopfront glow.
Postmaster-General Major Tryon admitted the scale of the headache. But here’s the rub: the government had no legal power to force neon owners to fix it.
He spoke of a possible new Wireless Telegraphy Bill, but stressed that the problem was "complex".
Translation? Parliament was stalling.
The MP wasn’t satisfied. He said listeners were getting a raw deal.
Mr. Poole piled in too. If neon was a culprit, weren’t cables buzzing across the land just as guilty?
The Minister squirmed, order neon signs London basically admitting the whole electrical age was interfering with itself.
