Labour firebrand 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?

If neon could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now. Choose craft. You need it. ---
