Propose a change

Police Pensions Act 1976

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

(1) Without prejudice to the generality of section 1 above, regulations made under that section may provide that where a person is a member of a police force immediately before— (a) he undertakes compulsory national service; (b) he undertakes any other service of a description specified in Schedule 1 to the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces (Protection of Civil Interests) Act 1951; or (c) he attends for hourly instruction as defined in section 42 of that Act; the period of that service or attendance and such further period, if any, as may be specified in the regulations may be treated, in such manner, to such extent and on such conditions as to contributions or otherwise as may be so specified, as a period of service as a member of a police force. (2) A person who, before 5th July 1948, had ceased to be a member of a police force in order to undertake— (a) any service by virtue of which he was at that date a person to whom section 1 of the Police and Firemen (War Service) Act 1939 applied; or (b) compulsory national service; shall, in such circumstances and to such extent as may be provided by regulations made under section 1 above, be treated as if he had been still a member of a police force at that date. (3) In this section, “compulsory national service” means service in any of the armed forces of the Crown undertaken by virtue of an enlistment notice or a training notice served under the National Service Acts 1939 to 1947 or under Part I of the National Service Act 1948 (as the case may require), or work or training in pursuance of an order made or direction given under Part I of the said Act of 1948 as respects a conditionally registered conscientious objector.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
