Finance (No. 2) Act 2023
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
309 Information sharing
(1) This section applies to information that— (a) is held by the Secretary of State, the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority or the Northern Ireland Authority for Energy Regulation (each “a relevant person”), and (b) is relevant to the electricity generator levy. (2) Information to which this section applies may be disclosed by a relevant person (or anyone acting on behalf of that person) to the Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs for the purposes of their functions relating to electricity generator levy or any other tax. (3) Subject to subsection (5), no duty of confidentiality or other restriction on disclosure (however imposed) prevents the disclosure of information in accordance with subsection (2).

(5) Nothing in this section authorises the making of a disclosure which— (a) contravenes the data protection legislation (save that the power conferred by this section is to be taken into account in determining whether a disclosure contravenes that legislation), or (b) is prohibited by any of Parts 1 to 7 or Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (save that the power conferred by this section is to be taken into account when determining whether a disclosure is prohibited by those provisions).

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.
