National Savings Bank Act 1971

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.

What to do with it
As published

6 Interest on investment deposits.

(1) Investment deposits shall be received on such terms as to interest, other than terms as to rate of interest, as may from time to time be prescribed and different terms may be prescribed in relation to different descriptions of investment deposits. (2) Interest on investment deposits shall be payable at such rates as the Treasury may from time to time determine, and different rates may be so determined in relation to different descriptions of investment deposits and different periods of notice of withdrawal. ((2ZA)) The Treasury may determine that a rate of interest payable on investment deposits, or investment deposits of a particular description, is to be a rate produced by the operation of a formula involving the movement of an index or indices or any other factor. (2A) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (2) above, the Treasury may determine, in relation to an account into which investment deposits of any description are made, different rates of interest by reference to any one or more of the following factors, namely— (a) the balance of that account at any time or over any period or the aggregate balance of the account and the depositor’s other accounts of the same description, or the depositor’s other investment accounts of any description, at any time or over any period; and (b) the number of withdrawals from that account over any period or the number of withdrawals from that account and the depositor’s other accounts of the same description, or the depositor’s other investment accounts of any description, over any period. (3) The Director of Savings shall give notice in the London, Edinburgh and Belfast Gazettes of any alteration in a rate of interest payable on investment deposits or investment deposits of a particular description(other than one occasioned by the operation of a formula); and any such alteration may affect deposits received at or before, as well as after the time the alteration is made. (4) In the case of an alteration in a rate of interest not affecting deposits received before it is made, any notice of the alteration required to be given by subsection (3) above may be given after the alteration is made.

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.
