Don't know who invented them (probably some anonymous civil servent) but they are named after Leslie Hore-Belisha (1895-1957), the Minister of Transport who introduced them in 1934.

I am not too sure of the spelling but strangely enough the inventors name was Balesher.
Happy Christmas to you and yours.
