(3) If the Commissioner forms the opinion that matters which are the subject of an investigation by— (a) the Health Service Commissioner for England, (b) a Local Commissioner, or (c) both, include a matter within his jurisdiction, he may, subject to subsection (4) of this section, conduct an investigation of that matter under this Act jointly with that Commissioner or those Commissioners.

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.
