Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990
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.
Change 1
20 Reference of applications to Secretary of State.
(1) The Secretary of State may give directions requiring applications for hazardous substances consent or applications under section 17(1) to be referred to him instead of being dealt with by hazardous substances authorities. (2) A direction under this section— (a) may be given either to a particular hazardous substances authority or to hazardous substances authorities generally; and (b) may relate either to a particular application or to applications of a class specified in the direction. (3) Any application in respect of which a direction under this section has effect shall be referred to the Secretary of State accordingly. (4) Before determining an application referred to him under this section, the Secretary of State shall, if either the applicant or the hazardous substances authority so wish, give to each of them an opportunity of appearing before, and being heard by, a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose. (4B) Subsection (4) does not apply to an application referred to the Welsh Ministers under this section instead of being dealt with by a hazardous substances authority in Wales. (5) The decision of the Secretary of State on any application referred to him under this section shall be final. (6) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.

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.
