The Lifelong Learning (Fee Limits) Regulations 2026
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
16 Top-up courses
(1) A “top-up course” is a course that— (a) involves substantially less learning time than a full course leading to the same qualification, and (b) requires students to have substantial relevant prior learning or experience as part of the entry requirements (which could be, but is not limited to, a qualification in the same field). (2) The per-course amount for a top-up course is the lower of— (a) the per-course amount for a full course that leads to the same qualification, or (b) the number of full-time course years, or in the case of a course that is only offered part-time the number of full-time equivalent years, multiplied by 120. (3) In the case of top-up courses that are only offered part-time, the number of full-time equivalent years is the number of years that it would take to complete the course if studying 120 credits (or 1,200 notional learning hours) per year.

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.
