The Commons is rarely a forum for craft. Tax and trade dominate the agenda. Yet in May 2025, the subject was neon. Labour’s Yasmin Qureshi, brought heritage into the chamber. Her message was uncompromising: real neon is both craft and culture. She warned against plastic imitations, saying they undermine public trust. If it is not glass and gas, it is not neon. Chris McDonald added his support, sharing his own commissioning of neon art in Teesside.

There was broad recognition. Data told the story. Only 27 full-time neon benders remain in Britain. No new entrants are learning. Without action, Britain could lose neon entirely. Qureshi proposed legal recognition, like Cornish pasties. Preserve authenticity. Support also came from Jim Shannon, DUP, adding an economic perspective. Forecasts predict $3.3bn market by 2031. His point: this is not nostalgia but business. The final word fell to Chris Bryant.

He played with glow metaphors, drawing laughter. Yet beyond the humour, he recognised the seriousness. He cited neon’s cultural impact: Tracey Emin’s installations. He suggested neon is unfairly judged on eco terms. What is at stake? The answer is authenticity. Craft is undermined. That threatens heritage. Comparable to food and textile protections. If Scotch must come from Scotland, then craft deserves recognition.

The debate mattered beyond signage. Do we allow heritage skills to disappear? We hold no doubt: real neon matters. So yes, Parliament discussed neon. The Act is still to come. But the campaign is alive. If MPs can recognise craft, so can homeowners. Skip LED pretenders. Keep the glow alive.
